Seriously? From the README:

I would like to first fix the kernel headers issues that break the UAPI for C++ compilers (because they use C++ keywords that break C++ code) and the Windows filesystem (Windows filesystem is case-insensitive, so some headers cannot be stored on Windows filesystems).

I can't wait to see this kernel become dependent on .NET

If you're wondering, this is what embrace, extend and extinguish looks like.

"He himself is a billionaire" ... Glad the forker made that clear in the first paragraph.

(Linus is, incidentally, not a billionaire; he has a net worth of about $150 million.)

Can somebody point to a link where I can read more about this?

The github readme sounds unhinged btw.

I'm a billionnaire too - in dongs - but nobody forks my repos...
But most of my repos have more stars and more watchers than this one.

From the repository which has some "See here" and no hyperlinks, is this a mirror or what? That'd explain so many claims and no proof to back it up, just point fingers but don't make your case:

Linus Torvalds has been sold out to big tech companies like Google and Microsoft. He himself is a billionaire and no longer writes any code.

Since when he became billionaire? Explain more on:

Linus Torvalds has been sold out to big tech companies like Google and Microsoft.

It looks like more lack of understanding of licenses if you are talking about some of their employees being involved in the kernel development.

Many people, including myself, are very unhappy with his decisions, like the removal of several Russian developers from kernel maintainership status.

Many people like how much? Also lacking references.

since Rust language developers and Rust foundations are very hostile to Russia and China

Also heavy claim and no reference to back it up.
