In a candid keynote chat at the Linux Foundation's Open Source Summit Europe, Linux creator Linus Torvalds shared his thoughts on kernel development, the integration of Rust, and the future of open source.
Man I've never really thought about how much having the wrong successor could fuck up the whole ecosystem.
He should make a tim burton's charlie and the chocolate factory style of test to find his successor
with his death and the huge focus on trying to protect me from myself, I can see linux becoming even more restrictive than android. He's one of the few sane ones left.
I have a feeling it might go the other way, IE when he retires or whatever, everyone's going to want to be the "next Linus" and we'll end up with tons of different forks of kernels all following their own philosophy of what they think Linux should be.
