with his death and the huge focus on trying to protect me from myself, I can see linux becoming even more restrictive than android. He’s one of the few sane ones left.
I have a feeling it might go the other way, IE when he retires or whatever, everyone’s going to want to be the “next Linus” and we’ll end up with tons of different forks of kernels all following their own philosophy of what they think Linux should be.
I hope not. I’m not ready for the year of the BSD desktop.
