The choice isn't uncomfortable. It's a need for a hard fork from Linus that's always been present, and now is just more obvious because 2026 really is the year of mainstream FOSS OS use.

    Ok great.

    So fork it yourself.

    If you can't handle progress, then you shouldn't force everyone else to comply.

    Even Linus knows how the real world works.

    I would like to see both anti-AI and "slop 'em up!" forks of Linux, mostly to see which one fails first.

    My hypothesis is that the anti-AI one would fail first because the slop-em-up one would end up with bots just copying a bunch of fixes from mainline Linux.
