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.

Lenin is mummified and inside a glass chamber.
Yeah I know, I knew it as soon as I hit send but I dunno, once there's an edit people get like weird about it.
Ed: although class chamber is accidentally perfect lol.

We will switch to GNU/Hurd.
Then we will plug a USB device and remember that Hurd doesn't support that yet.

Not much will change.

There shouldn't be another Linus. The model of a single maintainer holding so much importance is fundamentally flawed, especially for a project with the size and importance of Linux. Responsibilities and decision making should be distributed among stakeholders and volunteers. It will take time to rebuild around that sort of structure.
I've also heard tell that the linux-kernel mailing list has become extremely toxic, especially to newcomers. A professor that I have a lot of respect for has stopped teaching his kernel drivers course because one of his students received death threats related to her involvement. If a change in the tenor doesn't happen, less and less of the fresh blood that Linux needs will join.
When linus dies we will pull a weekend at bernie's and make commits under his name then we will turn him into a human meat puppet.
Nothing. But I would love a microkernel approach like redoxOS. Monolithic kernel is such a bloat?
