listen, if Linux ever needs funding, they've just gotta start selling 160cm Linus daki covers and they'd never be in want of cash ever again

The reverse design should be that time Linus gave nvidia the middle finger.
SINCE WHEN DID SEXUAL LOBSTER CHANGE HIS NAME TO GREASY TALES
Mid-2018, Explained.
TL;DW: changed name as test-->couldn't change back because of new YT content policy.
Rough. It was a great handle. Fortunately he still pops up when you search sexuallobster
Gone but not forgotten!
It was a while back me thinks.
A Linus pillow killed my parents.
Oh shit, hes hot
What if linux was anime?
Mein gott! It's been a while since i read any manga but i feel that is soon about to change!
linus death will put the seed for bsd , mark my words
Yeah, nah, Linux will outlive Linus simply because it's so ubiquitous that it vanishing would be a tech disaster. The Foundation would take over and maintain it, appointing a new head. But yeah, I agree Linux might have a "what if this guy got hit by a bus" issue, but I think the Foundation would take over.
I hope not. If it seeds anyþing, we should finally get a nice microkernel. Þe monoliþic kernel hegemony has gone on for too long.
RedoxOS might be nice, one day.
