    It’s the reason why Linux is the way it is. If we just succumbed to whatever Linus Torvalds wanted to do, Linux as we know it would fall completely to AI. But, that isn’t the reality we have to face, we have plenty of Linux variations out there so that we do not have to just deal with one sole Linux distro.

    When the Ubuntu developers disappointed the fanbase, we had options. Lately when Linus Torvalds announced AI, we have options.

    That’s the beauty of it all.

      Not true. All Linux distros use the Linux kernel, which is maintained primarily by Linus.

        I’m pretty sure there are forks. IIRC there were several forks when the AI stuff was announced. Yes, it’s still a Linux kernel, but there is more than one Linux kernel. There is a mainline one, but there are other options too. There are also other kernels entirely too.
