IF all else fails, use a Windows VM.

XFCE, lightweight and has a terminal. 's all i need when i’m not trying out something like xmonad.

'Cos all kernel contributors are paid…?

BRICS Linux.

they would basically have a separate project.

That’s what a fork is. Happens all the time.

Reddit refugees

Calling them refugees is an insult to actual refugees.

I think you’re confusing with israel.

It may happen

I get where you’re coming from… but no. Forking linux is way less dangerous for the world than Trump in the White House.

Russians are still free to use and contribute to Linux development. Just a few people lost their maintainer rights.

Yeah… Russians lost rights. A bit of a catch-22 there, pal.

No, but they can host the infrastructure so that excluded developers (the ones that just so happen to be Russian) along with whomever will want (BRICS developers for instance) can surely contribute.

It’ll be called BRICS Linux.

Who owns the copyright is irrelevant.

It is, which is why i focused on where the repository is located and whether that determines possession.

Russia might invade Finland.

Finland’s part or NATO now. Putin may be a lot of things, stupid ain’t one of them. Ironically, this kinda backfired on him but can’t say it was unexpected considering most scandinavians love the american dream.

The US is the most belligerent nation on earth, shall we ban american contributors? How about israeli?

Should their code be removed from the kernel?

The real question i haven’t seen answered is Who owns the kernel code. Torvalds owns the Linux™ but that’s to prevent others from buying it, but i was under the impression the source code is owned by all those who contribute to it and not whoever happens to be employing Torvalds at the time. Or is it a matter of where https://git.kernel.org/ happens to be hosted?

I’d suggest Codeberg but that’s in Germany, so maybe another forgejo instance hosted maybe in Switzerland.

Hell, there’s even absolute dickholes which post their own definition of “open-source” like they’re the fucking OSI themselves: https://futo.org/open-source-definition/

They seem to be a bit incoherent… some AGPL, some MIT, then some inh-house licensing… weird.

Another major factor is that the EU AI Act provides special exemptions for “open source” models.

Aaah, that’s why.

it can’t be indexed and can quickly disappear on a while on the admin side.

On a whim? Also, Google will be disabling it’s caching feature soon.
