Who is Lina? :-)

Edit: honest question...



I'm not sure if this is an elephant-in-the-room sort of thing of if people legitimately haven't picked up on it, but if you listen to the speech patterns and accent that Lina presents, (s)he speaks exactly like marcan. You can listen for yourself and form your own opinions, but I am firmly in the camp of "Lina is marcan".


There are only a handful of people in the world that can do this type of work and the odds of both of them being into live streaming and Anime is exactly 0. I have no idea why marcan decided to make his reversing magic unwatchable but I hope it stops soon. That said, he doesn't try to keep it a secret: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=effHrj0qmwk https://twitter.com/marcan42/status/1509926572488556546


look at the date


So you actually think marcan gave Lina his streaming API key to pull off this April fools prank? Do you also think they conspired to use the same DE, editor, and tooling from the start to fool us all?


Honestly? I don't care, you're probably right but if he wants to keep this double personality that's cool, who cares


I only care because I enjoyed watching him reverse engineer in his easy to understand normal unmodified voice.


Lina also lives in Tokyo, Japan; curiously just like Marcan.

What are the odds of two of the brightest kernel developers living in the exact same city? ;)


???? what are the odds that a tech metropolis with a population of more than 10 million people has 2 people that are proficient enough to contribute to the linux kernel at a high level? i would say very high. i don't have an opinion on whether they are the same person or not, but your logic is hilarious.


Well, it is the most populous city in the world.
