minus-squareᗪᗩᗰᑎlinkfedilink48•2 months ago 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
minus-square@normalexitlink17•2 months agoYeah a dozen or so commits updating readme files isn’t exactly compelling stuff. Any of us could do this in five minutes on GitHub.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink16•2 months agoStill hosted on GitHub, a property of MicroSoft.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink15•2 months agoAny bets on how likely that this is even maintained six months from now?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish11•2 months agoSix 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.
minus-squaremoonlightlinkfedilink15•2 months agoDoesn’t Linux already have a bunch of forks? I’m using the CachyOS kernel, for example
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•2 months agoThat’s true, but how much hard-forks do you know?
minus-square@porllinkEnglish1•2 months agoAt least one for each manufacturer that uses it under the hood in a Tivo-like manner
Someone has forked Linux https://github.com/Cqinux/cinux
I can’t take that seriously

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.

That’s true, but how much hard-forks do you know?
Relevant, maintained? Zero.

🤣🤣🤣
