      Linus Torvalds has been sold out to big tech companies like Google and Microsoft. He himself is a billionaire and no longer writes any code.

      I can’t take that seriously

        Yeah a dozen or so commits updating readme files isn’t exactly compelling stuff. Any of us could do this in five minutes on GitHub.

        Still hosted on GitHub, a property of MicroSoft.

        That’s because it’s pure bullshit. And this repo will be deleted or abandoned in a month.

      Doesn’t Linux already have a bunch of forks? I’m using the CachyOS kernel, for example

        That’s true, but how much hard-forks do you know?

          Relevant, maintained? Zero.

          At least one for each manufacturer that uses it under the hood in a Tivo-like manner

      Any bets on how likely that this is even maintained six months from now?

        Six months don’t even give it a month. I don’t think most people want to admit how many kernel devs are paid devs. Nobody is doing all this work for free people need a home and food.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
