From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The former seems unlikely to happen (or at least for the long term).

Somehow doubt that a bunch of whingers are going to fork Linux successfully, but I'll wait to be proven wrong.
Y'know how you're not supposed to just yell "somebody do something" in an emergency situation? If I ever hear someone yell such a thing, I'm going to be the "somebody".
I am going to fork Linux.
have fun
Thanks; I shall ^^
That's why I got into compsci and programming. It's fun :3
If people are hurt enough, they will push towards it.
While I totally disagree with both, there are distributions without systemd and there are NEW projects that keep X11 alive and shun Wayland.
Something like this could happen with the Kernel. I’m not the one doing it because while I dislike Linus’ pro-slop stance I don’t really care enough for actively working on something like that..
But if available I’d install it instead of the slop Kernel.
