What do you think will happen when Linus dies or retires? Here is my prediction
>Linus becomes anhero under mysterious circumstances >doesn't name successor >oldfags try to take over >FAGMAN shills and social justice warriors grep oldfags old posts >find posts where they bullied people or called someone nigger >massive cancel campaign on all normalfag social media because national news >someone proposes a democracy style system for kernel dev >FAGMAN shills come out by the thousands to support it >a vote is held and a majority say they want democracy >rules are drawn up by FAGMAN and Red Hat >a vote is held to determine who will sit on the new council >The 6 or 7 seats are filled by FAGMAN employees, glow niggers, and token fag/tranny/nigger >they propose and get a bunch of new DRM and botnet into the kernel >oldfags start to leave because they don't like where this is going >forks appear but none really get popular enough to compete with mainline kernel >FAGMAN morphs mainline Linux into a locked down DRM laden OS mainly developed for their botnet tablets/chromebooks and Government servers aka "the cloud"
>doesn't name successor Bro this ain't Umineko. Greg Kroah-Hartman is the most likely to take over

>>doesn't name successor Hartman exists.

Have you heard about Google's Fuchsia? After 20 years he will be same as *BSD chads - in underground, nonames.

I know. But Linus won't name him directly. That will cause a lot of problems once Linus is gone. There will be a power struggle. There are too many people involved with the kernel with an agenda. FAGMAN will make a move.
Think about it. Those guys have 30+ years of shitposts on mailing lists, usenet, forums, and bug trackers. They were around back in the day when joking about certain topics was the norm. Someone is going to find some dirt. All they have to do is share it around places like twitter and reddit to get an angry mob involved.
They always subvert big projects by suggesting a system of democracy. Too many big players like Google, Red Hat, Microsoft, Intel, Nvidia, and others have a stake in the kernel. They will want a say in what is being added to it. They already get away with a lot.
Linus is already going along with a lot of things the Linus of 20 years ago wouldn't allow.

>microkernel DOA
Justin Barnes
either nothing will happen or linux dies with him ill move over to openbsd irregardless
Julian Allen
he will never die or retire. fuck you
Andrew Turner
Linus is gonna make a riddle before he dies to succeed his headship
Asher Young
no it won't change a thing that's the beauty of GPL
Grayson Jackson
linux is a nazi???
Camden Parker
Linus bullies people all the time and no one gives a shit. If he dies or fucks off without mentioning anything, one or more of the senior reviewers will take over
Jaxon Foster
why would they DRM the kernel? that doesn't make a lot of sense.
Jordan Wilson
he's a youtuber for racemixing tips
Ian Price
you know who I meant, you fuck
Juan Murphy
it would be nice if linus torvalds suddenly upgrades the license to GPLv3 and start sueing everyone who upgrades the kernel "for security", killing the cancer of community, which is the companies that tries to take over linux, and truly respecting the freedom of users and hackers. And would be a really good punch against the current market.
If you think about that, the whole IT market is really walking on a thin tightrope without knowing. There are tons of projects with tons of connections that even the developers doesn't know it exists. Maybe we can do something about it.

Jaxon Ross
He can't.
Nathan Sanchez
He would pass his job to one of his sons. Making the Linux the first monarchic free software project. A pure and uninterrupted blood line of Linus family will rule with a firm but fair fist the project for the next thousand years! do you realize that the copyright of every single line of code in Linux still belongs to their respective authors and -- if wrote under contract -- companies. Does parties, especially the companies, would simply start pulling off their work off Linux killing the project.
