Comment Hardly anyone run's Linus' Linux (Score 5, Insightful) 70

You run RedHat's Linux, Debian's Linux, Ubuntu's Linux, SCO's Linux.

Linus is the master of main. But every distro changes and compiles their own version. When Linus goes away, the most powerful closenit group of kernel maintainers will end up winning the battle royale to become the masters of universe. The surviving losers will try to dominate their branch. But the most actively maintained garden will have the best bush. You will end up with the popular branch, and every distro patching and compiling their own version.
