    I have a few I know who are very disgruntled. If they pull the code they made it will crash the kernel and force it back to Stone age of late 90's.

    I wish the piss and moan types would read this.

    My guess Microsoft and google pushed linus out more so Microsoft since they got a seat on the linux foundation....
    ..well the plus side it would not be hard to fork the kernel if the SJW take completely over

    I'm running Gallium OS (xubuntu based) 3 alpha on an Acer C720 Chromebook I got for $40 shipped on eBay.

    Love it. I will no longer run MS Windows under any circumstances.

    I flashed to a fully custom firmware which means I can't run Chrome OS which is fine with me.
