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 :)

In Russia, Linux forks you!

Was wondering if something like this would happen

Only possible because its FOSS. Hopefully this shows more governments why FOSS is awesome.

This will only show the idiots over at Western governments that FOSS is hurr durr bad, lets Ruskies evade sanctions

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...

It's not about a divergent featureset, it's about making sure Russian businesses can continue to legally use Linux if the US decides to make that the next step

"I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, Rus/GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Russian Federation plus GNU plus Linux minus Linus."
