The thing is, there is no way for the US and British to swoop in and declare unlimited military support for the opposing side in exchange for mineral rights and financial predation on its industry and state assets.
Sir, this is a Wendy's.
Oh, was I the one who brought up the war in Ukraine over Linux? No, that was Reddit brigaders infecting every topic they mentally associate with it, as usual.
Sir, this is a Kernel. This is not the United Nations.
The real challenge facing a kremlin linux fork isn't opposition, it's deciding what to do once they realize there aren't any maternity wards in the kernel they can shoot ballistic missiles at.
I think you're confusing with israel.

Go for it. That's one of the benefits of being FOSS, and other countries have their own versions of Linux already (that meet whatever dumb authoritarian rules are required).

regardless, a country should maintain their own fork regardless if its being used for government computers.

Dear all, please remember that engaging with trolls can get you banned (rule of thumb, half the time the offender gets for themselves)
Write what you want others to read, I don't care if there are disagreements. But go get a private chat room if you want to exchange insults with them :)
Only possible because its FOSS. Hopefully this shows more governments why FOSS is awesome.
This will only show the idiots over at Western governments that FOSS is hurr durr bad, lets Ruskies evade sanctions
I would be very surprised if such a fork would diverge from Linux. I would guess that this would be little more than a branch with (most likely) support for Russian hardware. Just my hunch.
A legitimate hard fork doesn't seem particularly smart to me, but what do I know...
"I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, Rus/GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Russian Federation plus GNU plus Linux minus Linus."
It's not about a divergent featureset, it's about making sure Russian businesses can continue to legally use Linux if the US decides to make that the next step
In Russia, Linux forks you!
The bad kerning in that cover image text cannot be unseen
why wouldn't they just contribute to kylin, considering russia and china's allyship?
Was wondering if something like this would happen
Fascinating.
