The whole "Trust me bro" thing comes from when they released their backpacks. They had issues with some of the zippers and people wanted to know what the warranty was. Linus said they didnt explicitly have one but that he would look after anyone with issues. When people got a bit rightly pissed about this, he got a bit defensive. "Trust me bro" sprung up as a meme out of that whole saga.

So... No source then? You just kinda think Linus is nice from watching videos?

What source are you looking for, exactly? You asked about a specific incident and got a fine summary. If you want more context, it's very easy to find.

If you are looking for a "source" for a subjective opinion of someone's personality... I don't even know what that would accomplish or what form you think that would take.

Exactly, which is why I think it's weird to act like you know a stranger is a good person without much to go on.
