Linux after Linus? The kernel community finally drafts a plan for replacing Torvalds

Linus plans to live forever. But just in case he doesn't, there's now a succession plan (though no actual successor).

    I don’t think anyone should replace Linus Torvalds.

    As is the essence of open source, Linux as a whole should fall to the community. The problem though is, there will come a point of disagreements with how things could go.

    I think a bare knuckle duel to the death is the best course of action to decide who deserves to be the king of linux

    What a shitty clickbait headline. They developed a contingency plan in case linus or his git are going away for one reason the the other

    It will take time but the fun will simply be over when he’s gone

    It’s clearly evident the next generations are incapable of proper stewardship of basically every good thing invented previously

        I said it before, and I’ll say it again. I think the kids are gonna be alright. I don’t get, or like, most of the whipper snapper music. But that’s ok, I don’t have to.

        Never understood the near universal contempt older people show younger ones.
