>once Linux dies.
Who will want to carry on?

>>59896742
Linus isn't even in charge anymore, wtf are you on about?

>>59896742
Well long term, if he's getting old and slowing down, I'd guess he and the Linux Foundation would designate a successor. If he drops dead suddenly, I'd guess one or several of his lieutenants would take over as the gate keeper.

The kernel is already pretty federated so he really only does high level merge work. It won't collapse without him. The lieutenants send him pull requests for the subsystems (net, storage, etc...). The lieutenants get their pull request from the maintainers of individual modules in the system (e.g. a specific driver). The module maintainers field the individual pull requests for new features and bug fixes.

Probably Ingo

>>59896742
it's all microsoft now - microsoft is working on linux

they will take over

>>59896742
I think Linus made git for many reasons, including this one. When he dies, anyone can voluntarily see every change he made, along with all his commit memos.

Combined with the mailing list, what more do we need from him? He's documented all his work. We are fine without him.

>>59896742
Linus has quite a few devs just below him that he considers highly trusted. 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc in line to control the project basically. If Linus cannot continue to oversee the project for some reason then one of them will likely take over. Linus already pretty much relies on these devs to oversee sections of the kernel anyway. Linus mainly decides when its time to stop accepting features for a particular kernel release and he also decides when the kernel has gone through enough release candidates to be considered stable for a general release.

>>59898273
He fights almost for open source as autistically as Stallman fights for freedom but a million times more successfully. We won't get another one like that.

>>59896742
Linux will go to shit, like every other project controlled by a BDFL.

we will switch to glorious redox os

https://www.redox-os.org/

Clem from Linux Mint will take over after Linus dies

>>59896742
Are we talking about Linus Tech Tips?

>>59896742
Linux was already overrun by systemd, faggot. It's over unless those Debian guys making the Debian fork take out Linux then it's over.

>>59900163
Have you seen his dauther?

our guy lennart will take over

>>59900163
His daughter is one of the biggest sjw in history and really dumb too.

>>59897069
>If he drops dead suddenl
I read that as 'successfully', kek

>>59900520
What against systemd?

>>59902567
Now it makes total sense. She's the one that sent those feminazi agents to kill him.

>>59902646
It's becoming it's own kernel. Too many dependencies, if one were to fail the whole system crashes just like fucking windows.
