    Fuck dude, we need an alternative to the Linux Foundation that actually focuses on Linux itself, not every single project that somehow runs on Linux. The linux kernel is a pain to join as a newbie, it’s underfunded (2% of all the Linux Foundation’s funding goes to the Linux kernel), the development cycle and tooling is outdated, the major language © is a security risk, the maintainers are turning old and gray which brings with it the typical resistance against change, and so many other things.

    I don’t know if a fork is needed with a new org surrounding it that focuses 100% on the kernel, or if something else has to happen, but the Linux foundation wasting money on shit like AI and endorsing Chromium sounds an awful lot like Mozilla. Mozilla lost its way a long time ago and the Linux Foundation might be going the same way too.

      The Linux kernel is just fine. C is in fact not a “security risk” and the tooling works fine for what it is.
