Dear all, please remember that engaging with trolls can get you banned (rule of thumb, half the time the offender gets for themselves)
Write what you want others to read, I don't care if there are disagreements. But go get a private chat room if you want to exchange insults with them :)
They expect the special operation to take only a month.
The thing is, there is no way for the US and British to swoop in and declare unlimited military support for the opposing side in exchange for mineral rights and financial predation on its industry and state assets.
The real challenge facing a kremlin linux fork isn't opposition, it's deciding what to do once they realize there aren't any maternity wards in the kernel they can shoot ballistic missiles at.
Every accusation is a confession, as per standard procedure.
Like many things in Russia, the appearance is more important than the truth. If there were anything substantial made, I’m sure there will one or more soy agencies helping to pad a developer’s savings.
Go for it. That's one of the benefits of being FOSS, and other countries have their own versions of Linux already (that meet whatever dumb authoritarian rules are required).
Why not just use Red Star Linux? I thought Jong Un and Vlad were besties.
Well to be pedantic, Red Star is a custom DE on top of Linux, not a kernel
Okay then, that was always allowed
regardless, a country should maintain their own fork regardless if its being used for government computers.
Oh man I fucking called this one, as soon as I read that article a few days ago saying that the Russian maintainers were removed from the kernel, I'm like man if Russia was smart right now they would do a country-funded version, this is completely legal as well under the licensing of the current kernel.
In Russia, Linux forks you!
Only possible because its FOSS. Hopefully this shows more governments why FOSS is awesome.
I would be very surprised if such a fork would diverge from Linux. I would guess that this would be little more than a branch with (most likely) support for Russian hardware. Just my hunch.
A legitimate hard fork doesn't seem particularly smart to me, but what do I know...
