Jing et al. dealed with all possible Whiteman generalized cyclotomic binary sequences $s(a,b,c)$ with period $N=pq$, where $(a,b,c)\in \{0,1{\}}^3$ and $p,q$ are distinct odd primes (Jing et al. arXiv:2105.10947v1, 2021). They have determined the autocorrelation distribution and the 2-adic complexity of these sequences in a unified way by using group ring language and a version of quadratic Gauss sums. In this paper, we determine the linear complexity and the 1-error linear complexity of $s(a,b,c)$ in details by using the discrete Fourier transform (DFT). The results indicate that the linear complexity of $s(a,b,c)$ is large enough and stable in most cases.
