#3I really wonder what's going to happen to Linux once Linus is gone. I think we've seen now that just a week after he took a break the community started falling apart rapidly.

Hopefully natural selection will bring us a profile similar to Linus that will take over the job.

#5I am now waiting for a post from Linus entitled: "Behaviour therapists are just bullshitters" ;)

Did it? People actually involved in the Linux community seemed fine. It was just internet people shouting "the sky is falling!"

Kernel fragments into a dizzying array of forks, TrueLinux, RealKernel, Linux Core, LinuxPlus and DogeKernel fight for supremacy on obscure making lists and github issue trackers.
The public remains largely unaware.
Huge PR battles over which logo to use erupt, somebody sneaks backdoors into the majority of the kernels. Somebody else backdoors the backdoors. Pretty soon over half the code base consists of backdoors and embedded nVidia graphics drivers.
Buzzfeed publish a list of 15 linux kernels you won't believe exist. A week has now passed since Linus left the project, and we have hit Peak Kernel.
Linux fades from the cusp of becoming a mainstream desktop OS and eventually settles into a niche server role until the 2038 bug wipes out humanity due to some buggy memory management running on an ICBM launch computer.
Chrome OS sees a slight uptick in users.

#8Halaula, the great messiah has returned after a few weeks reformed. Next up unconscious biases training at Google HQ.

What I read about was Kernel contributors having some friction with the CoC. That got blown up by the press a bit, but it wasn't only the press.

If anything, drama related the CoC was what caused Linus' hiatus (in a "straw the broke the camel's back" sense), not the other way round.
