Linus is getting kicked from Linux development. They're already setting the groundwork for when they'll eventually usurp Linus's project.https://www.pcguide.com/news/linux-kernel-community-finally-drafts-contingency-plan-for-a-plan-to-replace-linus-torvalds/
Yes, Linus is old and won't be calling all shots for Linux development for 30 more years. This doesn't need a thread.
>>107995458Why isn't it Linus that is making this plan then? Why can't he be the one to name the successor?
>local 4chins retard is incapable of comprehending that passing of time and old age existmore news at 6
>>107995476this, I also fucking hate the wall posters on /tv/it's like they refuse to be old
>>107995442it's going to get replaced with rust shit. time to move to mac.
Linus is approaching the median retirement age in the US. Bill Gates was 52 when he stepped down from day-to-day activities at Microsoft. Steve Jobs was 55 when he stepped down from Apple to manage his pancreatic cancer.We can't always predict the future, so it's good practice to have a backup plan if the future doesn't go as expected.
>>107995458>>107995476>>107995551>>107995562Look at all these consensus forming shitskins, faggots and glownigger jews trying to divert from the fact that they need to rapidly take full control of Linux before the masses of normies leave Winjeet 11 in droves
>>107995442When this happens Linux will go to shit btw
>>107995706No Gaben will keep it afloat trust the plan
>>107995442This is Linus in 2026.Most people only know him from 10-20 year old pictures. When I saw him like this I realized he is getting old. 56 right now, and is already getting gray hair and baggy eyes. It is somewhat likely that he retires in the coming 10 years. Unless he is Stallman, but I think even Stallman has stepped down from most of the decision making.The problem is that he isn't replaceable. Kernel development needs his personality and knowledge. Most people making it to the top doesn't have it, and don't know shit about kernel level programming. So there would likely be one person responsible for decisions, but would have to rely on other people to make those decisions.Other technical details like, would the next person take over until their retirement, or would there be elections every few years. If elections, who would elect. Microsoft, Google and Oracle? Sure, I hope microsoft cares for desktop Linux.
use case for linus?
>linus quits>use slackware>never any updates for 10 years at a time at a time, so you dont have to worry about anything
>>107995442>>107995442Wouldn't he just fork the whole thing and all the competent people would just go with him?
>>107995558Anon, mac was ruined by normies and jeets are already 1/3 of Apple.
>>107995562Misread "pancreatic" as "pathetic".>>107995764He still looks bright and lively from that picture for his age though. I think he was demoralized by the cancelling a few years back.
>>107995948well it's either that or tranny shit so pick your poison
>>107995458Anon, I don't want to use a verification butt plug to use Linux.
>>107995442Time to make an archive of your favorite stable distros now and the requires libraries and keep the as a back up for the trannies take full control
>>107995442Pointless. With Alex, Jake, etc gone, there aren't enough competent hosts left to replace Linus anyway.
>>107996116this is a fucking stupid joke and you should feel bad
>>107995458>Why are THEY making him older? What is THEIR plan?(this is what conspiratards actually believe)
>>107995442He will be replaced by AI, most of his code can be vibe coded tho
>>107995442I don't really buy what the doomers are peddling.If you look at the history of empires, while founders are great people, it's usually around 3rd generation after them who usually leads to their rise. That means his successor's successor's successor will witness the year of the linux desktop.
>>107995764I am from Finland and happen to know that Torvalds is suffering from acute radiation poisoning.
>>107996128Sorry Luke, but Floatplane was never gonna be the solution.
>>107995442American leftists will use this as an opportunity to eat one of their own, I can already see it. The "open source" community is already hopelessly politicized especially with pledges they made to the United Nations.
>>107996215This isn't a empire, jokester.
>>107995562I thought the age of retirement was like 65 in the USA or something, though normally that's the age people start dying.>>107995764I see 20 year olds with baggy eyes too. Gray hair at 56 though? That's surprising today.
>>107995442Good. He's been making bad decisions for decades now.
>>107995948embrace nature, go into woodstechnology is already ruined by jeet handsenjoy nature, what's left of it, since jeets surely will manage to ruin it everywhere they go like they did in india
>>107996238Do you happen to know if this happened during a game of saunaklonkku during his basic training.Were you possibly the saunaklonkku?
>>107995551It's ironic because they all sound like old ladies on the phone.
>>107995764>Most people making it to the top doesn't have it, and don't know shit about kernel level programming.This is wild speculation on your part, with a side of wishy thinking.
so fork the kernel.gg.
>>107995558>replaced with rust shitIt's not like you would notice a difference.
>>107995442Linus hasn't been in control since the trannys forced him to adopt their code of conduct that rewards shitty coders.
we need to solve aging so linus controls the kernel forever
>>107995923Yeah right just like "the comunity" did with xlibre>how much is 2^16?
>>107995971No worries, we also have a patented "verification urethra fucker" so you can log in to your Gnome sesh
>>107996689>Wahhh things are slightly bad now so instead of making any attempt to fix it we need to give up on everything and had everything our ancestors worked on to 80IQ mongrelsGet your T levels checked or stop sucking cocks
>>107995442He spiritually became an amerifat so it's not really surprising if he randomly keels over one day. It's understandable.
>>107995471>Why isn't it Linus that is making this plan then?you can't be this retarded
>>10799688465,000
>>107995562>Linus is approaching the median retirement age in the USSure, if you consider permanently unemployed welfare queens as "retired."Working class people retire at like 70
>>107996974Xlibre proved timmies can't into software. browns and white trannies are only people who can write algorithms now
>>107995764Still younger than all the last presidents in half of the world
>>107995764>picFifty-fucking-six? Holy shit, dude got vaxxed hard, didn't he?
>>107997081This is what project managing a bunch of trannies does to a guy.
>>107997037>browns and white trannies are only people who (..) writeyup, not even mentioning that everything is slop now - it's full of CVEs thanks saaars
>>107996215It's usually the 3rd generation that leads to the empires collapse
>>107995442uhh.. how do I switch kernel
>>107995442he's just one CoC violation away from a twitter army of troons forcing him to retire.
>>107995764>The problem is that he isn't replaceable.no one is irreplaceable>Kernel development needs his personality and knowledgenot really>Most people making it to the top doesn't have ityou overestimate linus knowledge about linux insides, he does not know much about most subsystems, he said it himself in some interview some time ago, he mostly look for basic C mistakes and if code compiles on his hardware.>Other technical details like, would the next person take over until their retirement, or would there be elections every few years.there will be multiple person with commit access to the ONE tree that linus owns, they will most likely change the mailling-based workflow that can only ever work if there is one person that commit everything.>If elections, who would elect. Microsoft, Google and Oracle? Sure, I hope microsoft cares for desktop Linux.redhat, they've been trying to steal linux from linus for years, they even backed his oldest daughter when she threatened him with violence and suicide a few years agoI don't trust this dogshit company, I also write drivers for linux, I've talked with some devs there and they're insufferable, like they're the king of the world and it's priviledge to talk to them... as linux is unforkable, we will have to deal with these morons which makes me sad
>>107997134>no one is irreplaceableI am.
>>107995764>The problem is that he isn't replaceable. Kernel development needs his personality and knowledgeTorvalds promotes Rust in the kernel, nobody needs that shit.
>>107996884So it's a bit flip.uhhhhh. 10010, so 18?
Linux and open source has already been coopted by trannies and faggot. Write your own proprietary software and maintain total control. Your software dies when you die.
>>107997096what's with timmies and projecting their own faults onto people?
Was it worth humiliating himself to please the woke crowd? He was a shill for Ukraine, a shill for trans rights, a shill for every progressive talking point. He said everything they wanted him to, and they discarded him like garbage.
>>107997270>lesson: it never pays to side with evil
software hippies pretended like voluntary capitalistic proprietary software was evil when in reality violently compulsory marxist open source software was the real evil.
>>107997270Its NixOS all over again.Spinelessness and complete lack of effective action will destroy Linux.Never let progressives take control of anything.
>>107995442>Vibe-coding mentioned. >Coup D'etat operation ready to be executed
>>107997336Anon, the entire Linux Foundation has been vibe coding and getting ready to embrace AI for the past year. Distros are already making their own version of Copilot.If anything, they're getting ready to remove Linus for when he decides that AI is slop.
>>107995442Nigga he's nearing retirement age. If he wants to step down they need a plan.What is with this clickbaity bullshit post? Go back to xitter.
>>107997125Idk, take the BSD pill?
>>107995442Linus is going to retire at some point. I doubt he'll ever vanish from software development, but it definitely will just be other hobby projects, like his guitar pedal stuff.
>>107997381It must be the kike shill Bryan Lunduke playing divide and conquer here again
>>107995476Richard Cyberman will propagate Free Software forever while your Lincucks rots in his tivoized grave.
>>107997096Of course there are more CVEs. AI and India are producing 100x the software that was produced even a year ago. It is natural more vulnerabilities exist. However, the increase is not 100x vulnerabilities, is it, Timmy? Face it. AI is the future and India is leading the way.
>>107997371He himself has used AI. As far as continuing development of the kernel, this isnt an "AI plan" this is a "we need to consolidate power" moment for the org. Python tried the same shit for their benevolent dictator for life and it fucking failed, Guido has been back for the past 3 years.
>>107995442>Implying Computer nerds tend to live shorter lives. Sitting on ass all day, eating unhealthy food, and typically having poor mental health means that many will die long before the age of 80. Linus just turned 56; he's not going to live forever. There wasn't a plan in place for what to do if he drops dead of heart failure tomorrow, or necks himself from depression. No one is planning to kick him out.
>>107995442The guy who stalled Linux for decades refusing to make it intuitive? Linux has only very recently made a hardline effort to move on from the terminal. 30 fucking years too late. Opportunity wasted. People have hated Microsoft for that entire 30 years. Let's be real. His real purpose was getting Linux off the ground, once he refused to evolve from there he should have been replaced.
>>107995442>They
>>107995706All veteran Linux users will flock to BSD when this happens
>>107997529>The guy who stalled Linux for decades refusing to make it intuitive? Linux has only very recently made a hardline effort to move on from the terminal.Linus has nothing to do with making distros and user-friendly Linux distros have been a thing for two decades
>>107997469I think all software devs have used AI at this point. It doesn't mean he's going to use it for everything or turn the kernel into some rust AI abomination with this claude subscription.
>>107997529are wintoddlers really this dumb? Linux is a kernel.
lmao linus is gonna get replaced by a nocoder. Maybe that tech tips faggot can take his place.
>>107997615Whoosh. There it goes right over your fat egg head.
>>107997529Everyone knows Linus speech on Linux where he says he doesn't use Debian or Ubuntu, explain how he could possibly be the guy forcing everyone to use the terminal.
>>107997665It's a kernel. It's highly technical piece of software for nerds. It's not something that you make "intuitive" for normalniggers.
>>107997466>AI is the future and India is leading the waythe way to what?future of outsource tasks to barely competent cheapest possible workforce?yeah I guess, not only with AI, manufacturing in generalonly with programming if AI is really the future and will get good - no-one is gonna need thousands of half-daft copy/pasting jeets soon, since AI is gonna be writing everything itselfis it's a scam - no-one is gonna need copy-pasting jeets and return to normal workers, who don't produce shitbut hey, you're leading the way be being cheapest, barely competent enough to buy western AI so you can keep pressing copy/paste, gratz on that
>>107997759you got baited
>>107997755> what a kernel needsIt needs more rust.All shell scripts replaced with rust.All configuration files replaced with RSON every year when the language changes.Command line replaced with rust one-liners.
>>107997422Christ I'm tired of zoomers and their culture war driven minds. Always thinking about trying to push a message on the retards of the internet.
>>107995764Ideally he'd appoint a suitable and trusted Benevolent Dictator and not let Linux be governed by a committee
>>107995764Don't look up a recent picture of Stallman
>>107995764Such a punchable face
>>107995807Target practice?
>>107997270>this finnish guy doesn't buy into russian propaganda>this must be the doing of the big woke, surely he can't be forming his own opinionsHow delusional does one have to be to believe this?
>>107995558Mac is getting rusted too, there's an internal project to replace C in their kernel. Some claim they're using Rust, others have said it's an in-house language inspired by Rust. Not entirely shocking when you see the original creator of Rust is involved with Swift.
>>107998119>russian propagandaPlease be bait.
>>107995442>he vibecodednot even once bros
>>107995971You will insert the verification butt plug, you will wear the heckin valid trans flag socks, you will wear a tube top, you will wear a cute skirt, and you will be HAPPY.
>>107995764he looks way older than 56, that's the problem. 56 is old but it's not old old. anyway, hopefully he stays with the project for at least another 10 years. people talk shit about him but he's the reason linux is as good as it is.
>>107998018i dunno man, he looks roughly as old as linus and he's almost 20 years older than linushonestly he might even look younger than linus
>>107998119Fuck off back to /uhg/ troon

>>107999149
>>107999191>>107995764My Dad is in his 70s now and looks 30 years younger than Linus. Don't even try to pretend this amount of aging is normal compared to how he looked 10 years ago.>>107995442>Linux kernel communityOh I see. After years of Linus saying he's already got a plan in place and a hand picked successor we're suddenly going to pretend everyone didn't know that for the last 20 years.

>>107995764I yam from Vinland and can confirm that Linus Torvalsd decided he'd be safe and sorry and only eat food from North Korean agents. This is the reason behind his increasing vigor and youthful looks. North Korean Food / GNU, or North Korean Food plus GNU.
