Man I've never really thought about how much having the wrong successor could fuck up the whole ecosystem.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

with his death and the huge focus on trying to protect me from myself, I can see linux becoming even more restrictive than android. He's one of the few sane ones left.
I hope not. I’m not ready for the year of the BSD desktop.
I have a feeling it might go the other way, IE when he retires or whatever, everyone's going to want to be the "next Linus" and we'll end up with tons of different forks of kernels all following their own philosophy of what they think Linux should be.
I will be the next King of Linux.
