is this for real? very concerning, and i'm curious as to why all these years they've decided to abandon it.
Lunduke has been picking so many fights, I'm a bit lost as to whether I should pay attention or not. Sure, it doesn't seem great, but the Linux foundation putting money in other areas of the ecosystem is hardly a good point. Show us a real breakdown, instead of a gratuitous Linux kernel expenditure vs not-Linux kernel expenditure.
I always find a kind of ironic that Linux Foundation is the home of Zephyr, an embedded OS that has nothing to do with Linux, other than being competition against Linux distributions for the embedded market. It isn't only Zephyr, also being the home of several other projects completly unrelated to the Linux kernel.
Zephr isn't "competition against Linux". It primarily targets microcontrollers that Linux would have no hope of running on (e.g. parts with <1MB of memory).
Sigh. Nobody cares about the upstream LTS kernel. All the LTS distros maintain their own downstream LTS kernel. Android too. There is no reason to duplicate that work upstream and then nobody uses it anyways. And by the way, LF founs the Civil infrastructure project which mantains LTS kernels for 10 years .[1] [1] https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/civilinfrastructureplatform...
Debian definitely uses the upstream LTS for their base for their kernel on stable. They do add their own patches, but I don't think it's fair to say that they duplicate work here.
This is weird. LF has spent less on Linux than everything else . LF has to deal with lots more than LF. Even based on the numbers this article mentions, LF spends close to a million a year on Linux. I don't understand what the aim is here.
a million is what, 10 engineers full time?

My cursory glance turned up the slick annual presentation type report, but I am looking for the 3 basics, income statement, cash flow, and balance sheet, audited or unaudited.
An aside, I think Linux is a true modern marvel of humanity, it really is people at their best. It's a bummer when in-fighting and drama pop-up, but I guess it comes with the territory and its part of the sausage making.
