GitHub can you shut down this repo? ahaha 🤣 🤣 🤪
Seriously? From the README:
I would like to first fix the kernel headers issues that break the UAPI for C++ compilers (because they use C++ keywords that break C++ code) and the Windows filesystem (Windows filesystem is case-insensitive, so some headers cannot be stored on Windows filesystems).
I can’t wait to see this kernel become dependent on .NET
If you’re wondering, this is what embrace, extend and extinguish looks like.
Linus Torvalds has been sold out to big tech companies like Google and Microsoft.
Starts with such a banger…
He himself is a billionaire and no longer writes any code.
Is he though? Even if he is, didn’t he deserve it more than any other billionaire. Linux is FOSS after all and changed the world and IT dramatically. The money from Linux isn’t in his hand, but in the hands of Linux Foundation as far as I know. Linus didn’t make much money from Linux. Otherwise where is the evidence for this claim? I’m not against any evidence, I’m just against spreading false information. Also he does a lot still and maintains the project with lot of other people.
Many people, including myself, are very unhappy with his decisions, like the removal of several Russian developers from kernel maintainership status.
Ah, its about that. So anything else is not the real reason, its about the politics. I don’t know if this is justified or not, as I don’t know much about this situation.
Reading further its also the person is unhappy that C++ is not in the Kernel (but Rust got). I’m glad that people take matters in their own hand and fork if they are unhappy (regardless of any reason), but what is the point of this fork other than just being a fork? I wish that person or group good luck.
“He himself is a billionaire” … Glad the forker made that clear in the first paragraph.
(Linus is, incidentally, not a billionaire; he has a net worth of about $150 million.)
oh, they have forked the linux kernel, so cute!
I mean, this is an individual forking it, not a group of people, right?but reading the first 2 paragraphs, they are so full of shit that I wouldn’t trust them with a butter knife.
Can somebody point to a link where I can read more about this?
The github readme sounds unhinged btw.
I’m a billionnaire too - in dongs - but nobody forks my repos…
But most of my repos have more stars and more watchers than this one.deleted by creator
Honestly, no matter how weird and filled with lies this project is, we technically do need a fork of the kernel after the recent Linus’s racist political decision.

Maintainers (not contributers or their contributions) associated with sanctioned russian companies were removed. The Linux foundation is a legal entity that has to comply with international sanctions.
Could someone compile a list of maintainers associated with israeli companies to highlight the hypocrisy of removing russian associated maintainers to comply with international sanctions, when the ICJ has an ongoing case of genocide against israel?
While I agree with the sentiment, the decision to remove these maintainers seems to have been purely legally based. It stands to reason that the Linux foundation will follow and remove sanctioned Israeli maintainers if they end up on a list of sanctioned companies/people.

I don’t have any confirmations of your points
The kernel and its changes are open source, you can just look at the changes that were made.

Your words, not mine. If they were afraid of malicious code coming from these sources they would’ve removed them earlier and not only after their legal department recommend these maintainers be removed.
Open source doesn’t mean that malicious code isn’t impossible though. For a project as large as the Linux kernel it is unlikely, but see the xz-utils incident earlier this year for example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XZ_Utils_backdoor
Are you russian by any chance?
Because it’s rare to see the words “anti-russia lies” anywhere else.

If they were associated with Russian aligned companies I see no issue.
