Update: thank you for pointing out to me which community this was posted on.

I'm going to leave this post up as a cautionary tale for people like me who don't pay enough attention!

But Linux is cool cuz it's so fast and it doesn't break.

Long as I've been using it anyway.

So now linux is going to be much slower, going to break and be more susceptible to security breaches?

I'm not a programmer, is the upside supposed to be that with so many more programmers able to work on the kernel, those issues will be able to be fixed by the extra programmers?

It's not like there's anything wrong with Linux right now.
