      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.

        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

        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.
