      Linus is not the only one involved in Linux. Most work and decisions are done without Linus’ involvement at all. There are candidates (especially Greg) who are as important as Linus themselves and probably will take over the project. This is not a single user driven project.

        I think it’s more likely that soon China will start heavily pushing out a forked version of Linux on cheap fully home-built PCs. Then it’s basically game over for American software companies.

        i’m aware. however there’s a lot of money involved in linux, without linus i’m not certain linux will be able to be mostly free from corporate influence and such.
