He’s a naturalised American citizen as of a decade or two ago, IIRC.
Has a dual citizenship of Finland and the USA, so still a European citizen too.
Wouldn’t he have had to renounce his Finnish citizenship to be naturalised?
In any case, as he’s based in the US, the European culture of taking an entire month off a year, and of almost everyone in the same country taking time off at the same time and things shutting down for a month, wouldn’t be something he participates in. Even if he had 30 days of leave a year and took all of July off, in the US that would be a personal idiosyncracy (“that’s just Linus being Linus”) rather than a mass cultural phenomenon.
Kinda weird that it seems weird there that working for a year earns you 4 weeks off. Probably something to do with workers unions.
This is what we have in Australia. It's mandatory to get at least 20 days (4 work weeks) of PTO per year.
