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!

Go for it. That's one of the benefits of being FOSS, and other countries have their own versions of Linux already (that meet whatever dumb authoritarian rules are required).

A national fork? In Russia?

Sometimes the jokes write themselves.

Why not just use Red Star Linux? I thought Jong Un and Vlad were besties.

Well to be pedantic, Red Star is a custom DE on top of Linux, not a kernel

regardless, a country should maintain their own fork regardless if its being used for government computers.

why wouldn't they just contribute to kylin, considering russia and china's allyship?

Just don't install it alongside Windows.

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.
