    Seriously? From the README:

    I would like to first fix the kernel headers issues that break the UAPI for C++ compilers (because they use C++ keywords that break C++ code) and the Windows filesystem (Windows filesystem is case-insensitive, so some headers cannot be stored on Windows filesystems).

    I can’t wait to see this kernel become dependent on .NET

    If you’re wondering, this is what embrace, extend and extinguish looks like.

    Linus Torvalds has been sold out to big tech companies like Google and Microsoft.

    Starts with such a banger…

    He himself is a billionaire and no longer writes any code.

    Is he though? Even if he is, didn’t he deserve it more than any other billionaire. Linux is FOSS after all and changed the world and IT dramatically. The money from Linux isn’t in his hand, but in the hands of Linux Foundation as far as I know. Linus didn’t make much money from Linux. Otherwise where is the evidence for this claim? I’m not against any evidence, I’m just against spreading false information. Also he does a lot still and maintains the project with lot of other people.

    Many people, including myself, are very unhappy with his decisions, like the removal of several Russian developers from kernel maintainership status.

    Ah, its about that. So anything else is not the real reason, its about the politics. I don’t know if this is justified or not, as I don’t know much about this situation.

    Reading further its also the person is unhappy that C++ is not in the Kernel (but Rust got). I’m glad that people take matters in their own hand and fork if they are unhappy (regardless of any reason), but what is the point of this fork other than just being a fork? I wish that person or group good luck.

    “He himself is a billionaire” … Glad the forker made that clear in the first paragraph.

      (Linus is, incidentally, not a billionaire; he has a net worth of about $150 million.)

    oh, they have forked the linux kernel, so cute!
    I mean, this is an individual forking it, not a group of people, right?

    but reading the first 2 paragraphs, they are so full of shit that I wouldn’t trust them with a butter knife.

    From the repository which has some “See here” and no hyperlinks, is this a mirror or what? That’d explain so many claims and no proof to back it up, just point fingers but don’t make your case:

    Cinux

    Linus Torvalds has been sold out to big tech companies like Google and Microsoft. He himself is a billionaire and no longer writes any code.

    Since when he became billionaire? Explain more on:

    Linus Torvalds has been sold out to big tech companies like Google and Microsoft.

    It looks like more lack of understanding of licenses if you are talking about some of their employees being involved in the kernel development.

    Many people, including myself, are very unhappy with his decisions, like the removal of several Russian developers from kernel maintainership status.

    Many people like how much? Also lacking references.

    since Rust language developers and Rust foundations are very hostile to Russia and China

    Also heavy claim and no reference to back it up.

    Honestly, no matter how weird and filled with lies this project is, we technically do need a fork of the kernel after the recent Linus’s racist political decision.
