Fork It or Leave: Linus Torvalds Rejects Demands to Rein In AI Code Review in the Linux Kernel
Artificial intelligence has reached one of the most conservative corners of software development, and the dispute has swiftly escalated into open conflict. Linux creator Linus Torvalds fired back sharply at project contributors who demand limits on automated code review. His suggestion to the dissenters was blunt: create your own kernel branch, or leave the project. The Spark: Sashiko's Machine-Generated Reviews…

A Student Rebuilt Linux 0.11 in Rust: Inside linux-0.11-rs, a Faithful Reimagining of the 1991 Kernel
A student from China has rewritten an early version of Linux in Rust from scratch. The project, named linux-0.11-rs, reproduces the capabilities of the Linux 0.11 kernel released in late 1991. The new system boots on an emulated i386 computer, launches a command shell, and lets a user work with files and basic programs. Written Anew, Not Translated Line by Line…

Linux Kernel Surpasses 43 Million Lines
The Linux kernel has expanded to a scale that is difficult to imagine for an open-source project. Following a week of intense merges for Linux 7.2, the source tree surpassed 43 million lines. Moreover, it is rapidly approaching the 44 million mark. Michael Larabel, the founder of Phoronix, recently noted this remarkable growth. Analyzing the Massive Codebase Experts recorded this expansion on the final day of the Linux 7.2 merge window.
