Why not fork Linux? What would it take?

I'd just like to interject for a moment. "Fork" is problematic terminology that goes against the CoC, because forks are dangerous and potentially triggering. Same with "branch". Please use "spoon" and "river" from now on.

You have a better cover than Finish American Linus.

That is, until RMS is dealt with and Matthew Garrett takes over, and we all know how that will go over.

Or get a gym membership and
BECOME THE CHAD

Or we could skip most of those steps and just start contributing to a *BSD (that isn't FreeBSD) so they're able to grow a bigger userbase and usurp Linux's place. They already have a compiling kernel, they already have a reputation, and they already have a contributor-base.


Solution:
Work on sex bots and artificial wombs so female 1.0 can finally be depreciated after the "feminism" bug has proved resistant to fixes.

Feminism is a (((backdoor)))

Because they want to. The broader the appeal of your project, the more you attract.
Are you hoping for Linux devs to switch over to the fork?
It's not likely to happen, whatever social game is used to keep them working on the main fork will be used to keep them off your fork.
Zig Forums is not a big site, not enough anons to find a sufficient number significantly above average.
There is not enough time, because you must keep up with the main branch.
Also I doubt tests and time alone can fix lack of coding skills, less readable code can still do the same thing when ran.
It's very hard and unlikely, not impossible.
You need to find someone willing to spend time on mostly menial work, on an unpopular project, with the media painting anyone involved as a bad goy, all to keep up with a more popular project.
Isn't removing the CoC a single change to a single file?
If changing distro name and such takes a significant time, the project is doomed from the start.
Divine intervention.
Any governance system tried has failed, and I can't see a realistic way out.

This, but unironically. Less TempleOS and more Temple of Iron.

If the next jump to another OS, I hope it's not a fork.. or even GPL. Sounds like a perfect time to give BSD it's rightful place. lol. But something gear towards everyone, not OpenBSD.
