Someone has forked Linux https://github.com/Cqinux/cinux

Linus Torvalds has been sold out to big tech companies like Google and Microsoft. He himself is a billionaire and no longer writes any code.

I can’t take that seriously

Still hosted on GitHub, a property of MicroSoft.

Yeah a dozen or so commits updating readme files isn’t exactly compelling stuff. Any of us could do this in five minutes on GitHub.

@ulkesh@beehaw.org · 1M

That’s because it’s pure bullshit. And this repo will be deleted or abandoned in a month.

@LeFantome@programming.dev · 1M

Any bets on how likely that this is even maintained six months from now?

@Auli@lemmy.ca · 1M

Six months don’t even give it a month. I don’t think most people want to admit how many kernel devs are paid devs. Nobody is doing all this work for free people need a home and food.

Doesn’t Linux already have a bunch of forks? I’m using the CachyOS kernel, for example

Relevant, maintained? Zero.

At least one for each manufacturer that uses it under the hood in a Tivo-like manner
