The Linux kernel community has quietly drafted a continuity plan for a post‑Torvalds era. 🐧

Rather than naming a successor, it outlines a collective process to select future maintainers — reducing “bus-factor-of-one” risk while preserving open governance and trust. ⚙️

Linus Torvalds says he has no plans to retire. ⏳

@EUCommission We have to be #united. We also need to be #independent. We have to free ourselves from #American #survaillence software, which we use everyday. We have to secure the #privacy of #Europeans.
