You're viewing a single thread.
Someone has forked Linux https://github.com/Cqinux/cinux
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.
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.
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
🤣🤣🤣
