    Oh man I fucking called this one, as soon as I read that article a few days ago saying that the Russian maintainers were removed from the kernel, I’m like man if Russia was smart right now they would do a country-funded version, this is completely legal as well under the licensing of the current kernel.

        Honestly I started writing a comment asking why it was dumb, and started writing points why it would be good, then came to the same conclusion that it was dumb. The amount of money they would have to put in to make it good is more than they can afford.

            Well yea, if the government is running it, they’ll probably pay them?

            Also many of the regular kernel contributors are paid because they work for a company that hired them to do it
