Seriously? From the README:
I would like to first fix the kernel headers issues that break the UAPI for C++ compilers (because they use C++ keywords that break C++ code) and the Windows filesystem (Windows filesystem is case-insensitive, so some headers cannot be stored on Windows filesystems).
I can’t wait to see this kernel become dependent on .NET
If you’re wondering, this is what embrace, extend and extinguish looks like.
“He himself is a billionaire” … Glad the forker made that clear in the first paragraph.
(Linus is, incidentally, not a billionaire; he has a net worth of about $150 million.)
Can somebody point to a link where I can read more about this?
The github readme sounds unhinged btw.
I’m a billionnaire too - in dongs - but nobody forks my repos…
But most of my repos have more stars and more watchers than this one.From the repository which has some “See here” and no hyperlinks, is this a mirror or what? That’d explain so many claims and no proof to back it up, just point fingers but don’t make your case:

Linus Torvalds has been sold out to big tech companies like Google and Microsoft. He himself is a billionaire and no longer writes any code.
Since when he became billionaire? Explain more on:
Linus Torvalds has been sold out to big tech companies like Google and Microsoft.
It looks like more lack of understanding of licenses if you are talking about some of their employees being involved in the kernel development.
Many people, including myself, are very unhappy with his decisions, like the removal of several Russian developers from kernel maintainership status.
Many people like how much? Also lacking references.
since Rust language developers and Rust foundations are very hostile to Russia and China
Also heavy claim and no reference to back it up.

Honestly, no matter how weird and filled with lies this project is, we technically do need a fork of the kernel after the recent Linus’s racist political decision.

Maintainers (not contributers or their contributions) associated with sanctioned russian companies were removed. The Linux foundation is a legal entity that has to comply with international sanctions.
Could someone compile a list of maintainers associated with israeli companies to highlight the hypocrisy of removing russian associated maintainers to comply with international sanctions, when the ICJ has an ongoing case of genocide against israel?
While I agree with the sentiment, the decision to remove these maintainers seems to have been purely legally based. It stands to reason that the Linux foundation will follow and remove sanctioned Israeli maintainers if they end up on a list of sanctioned companies/people.

Are you russian by any chance?
Because it’s rare to see the words “anti-russia lies” anywhere else.

I don’t have any confirmations of your points
The kernel and its changes are open source, you can just look at the changes that were made.

Your words, not mine. If they were afraid of malicious code coming from these sources they would’ve removed them earlier and not only after their legal department recommend these maintainers be removed.
Open source doesn’t mean that malicious code isn’t impossible though. For a project as large as the Linux kernel it is unlikely, but see the xz-utils incident earlier this year for example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XZ_Utils_backdoor
If they were associated with Russian aligned companies I see no issue.
