I’d consider both, and he seems much better over the past decade or so.

Linus is the tech bro here https://lore.kernel.org/linux-media/CAHk-=wi4zC+Ze8e+p3tMv8TtG_80KzsZ1syL9anBtmEh5Z40vg@mail.gmail.com/

The BSD’s seems a pretty solid option.

I don’t think he’s arguing. He doesn’t ‘want it badly’, he has it, the kernel has it, it’s not going away.

He couldn’t really be much clearer: If you have an issue with it then leave, or do the open source thing and fork the kernel instead of:

“But the solution is not to put your head in the sand and sing “La La La, I can’t hear you” at the top of your voice like some people seem to do.”

Linux is fine.

If you wanna avoid LLM’s all up in your kernel then leave, Linus has put his foot down on this months back and the kernel is knee deep in llm’s, and powering much of the ecosystem.

If operating systems need verification the linux ecosystem seems well placed to avoid this with LFS, Gentoo, Toybox and many more being kits to build your own.

If Linux does get drowned in twats and turns into some kinda IBM powered Steam machine then the BSD’s are waiting.
