What happens when Linus dies/retires?
Will we all be fucked or is there a Linus 2?
OprahsedCreature, is there a Linus 2?
There was but Carmen Ortiz took care of that little problem, if you know what I mean 😉
SnipingNinja, I didn’t know her role in it but that’s what I guessed, and I’m now sad to have been reminded of it
ninekeysdown, 
From what I understand Greg Kroah-Hartman would take over
TropicalDingdong, At which point it becomes Gregus.
SnipingNinja, (edited ) Gregux*
Or as someone else said, Grex
pacology, 
I would switch to grex when that happens
andrew, 
A quick search shows he’s actually two years older than Linus. Though I’m sure there’s plenty of young blood in the community by now.
agressivelyPassive, Not that much, unfortunately.
The entire process of contributing is a huge pain and makes it rather hard for new people to join.
fmstrat, I think this is by design. I once contributed to
git, and it required putting a patch in the mailing list. It certainly forced you to be sure your code was spot on.
agressivelyPassive, And it will discourage new users from contributing. Thus, only boomers and corpos will contribute, and over time Linux becomes a de facto corporate owned committee.
Petri3136, Any talk or podcast with him is generally worth listening to.
bamboo, We’re actually on the 10th Linus now, so the next one will be LinuXI
CheshireSnake, 
Still waiting for LinusXI Pro Max.
Kusimulkku, For me its LinuXIV the Sun Kernel
A_Union_of_Kobolds, Stupid God-Emperor keeps ordering all these gholas
db2, Don’t you Hayt it when that happens?
