    The last time I read about his distro use was when he submitted bug reports for Fedora 9 in March or April of this year. A few years back, he mentioned that he was using SUSE/openSUSE.

    From the latest interview that I remember, Linus uses Fedora now, although he hops around.

    Yes. That was all over the web, a couple of years ago. I also read somewhere that he has submitted patches for KDE, GNOME and other projects which are not kernel related.
