“And the backup right now is Greg KH, who is about the same age as we are and has even less hair.”

Replacing a giant. What a task.
But they are right, of course. Continuity is crucial, and if they succeed, it will be beneficial to all of us.
Fucking autoplay video crap, beware.
Btw, most browsers allow you to disable video auto-play in the settings.
This got me. I noped out of the article because of it
got a prompt asking if DRM content was okay, I guess that was it?
They should obviously replace him with an llm trained on all his emails and YT appearances.

What a shitty clickbait headline. They developed a contingency plan in case linus or his git are going away for one reason the the other
Replace?
Clone him.
fork()
Replacing with a clone then I guess.
I don’t think anyone should replace Linus Torvalds.
As is the essence of open source, Linux as a whole should fall to the community. The problem though is, there will come a point of disagreements with how things could go.
Democracy 🤷♂️
As I’ve said before, once Linus is gone, we might well end up with splits at the kernel level rather than at the distro level. And we would be wise to avoid any one organisation’s stock kernel, even if there are some very large organisations providing a lot of code for the kernel at present.
I can see a future where, say, GNOME, start producing their own kernels to support their vision of the Linux desktop from the ground up.
And it’s all but certain that Canonical and Red Hat would be very interested in things going their (respective) way(s) when the time comes.
One does not simply, replace, Linus Torvalds
No offense but I don’t enjoy the way you use commas. 🥲
I think a bare knuckle duel to the death is the best course of action to decide who deserves to be the king of linux
I find the headline misleading.
It will take time but the fun will simply be over when he’s gone
It’s clearly evident the next generations are incapable of proper stewardship of basically every good thing invented previously

I said it before, and I’ll say it again. I think the kids are gonna be alright. I don’t get, or like, most of the whipper snapper music. But that’s ok, I don’t have to.
Never understood the near universal contempt older people show younger ones.
