Will we all be fucked or is there a Linus 2?
GNU will spring their plan into motion for world domination, and send anyone who has said Linux and not GNU/Linux to GNUlag
We will switch to GNU/Hurd.
Then we will plug a USB device and remember that Hurd doesn’t support that yet.
Clone him
We’re actually on the 10th Linus now, so the next one will be LinuXI
Linus is getting old and its time to pick his replacement.
And its you! Congratulations! I hope your ready
Nothing. Linus doesn’t personally do coding on the kernel, he has a team who do that and he oversees it and makes the hard decisions.
There are others who will take his place and the work will continue.
If somehow the entire kernel team shut down, Google, Samsung or some other large corporation would take it over and continue development because at this point many, many, many servers, phones, smart devices, iot, and other appliances rely on the Linux kernel to function.
It simply cannot be left to die.
“Today here at Microsoft we are celebrating the legacy of the late Linus Torvalds by releasing a new kernel, re-written entirely in Golang using Copilot. No GPL code was touched, merely re-written, and we will offer ISOs to the coding community for free! Stay tuned for more updates, as we will be exclusively developing on this kernel going forward! This is a great day for open source!”
Golang is a Google thing, Microsoft would probably use C#
There are plenty of other tech youtubers to watch.

is there a Linus 2?
There was but Carmen Ortiz took care of that little problem, if you know what I mean 😉
