Pray tell, whenever there’s a new release of the kernel, what do these forks do? Point being nobody has hard forked the kernel and seen any success, its just not possible to keep up. There is still undoubtedly a hard dependency on the kernel by lots of software, just as lots of operating systems and software rely on systemd. In a world where these things were closed source, dependence is dangerous, but because they’re open source and so heavily depended on by the open source community, more people using it makes it better in much the same way it does for Linux.

We should start preparing to jump ship from Linux. There’s just too much reliance on it and that’s ALWAYS bad.

Systemd is open source. If it goes closed source, nobody would use it anymore and switch to a fork.

This makes no sense. GnomeOS is the operating system Gnome uses to test their software: https://os.gnome.org/. What is wrong with this? What the hell is “the right to customize your terminal”? And how does this imply that gnome is corporate at all?? They are making 0 dollars off of users by doing this. There’s a tiny chance they just want to make something different. You don’t have to like it or use it, but its pretty obvious you don’t even understand it and haven’t made any attempt to.
