After more than 34 years, the Linux kernel community has outlined a preliminary contingency plan to replace creator Linus Torvalds as its maintainer. The initiative, described as a 'plan for a plan,' follows discussions at the 2025 Maintainers Summit amid concerns over an aging core group of contributors. It aims to ensure smooth transitions for the project's leadership.
The Linux kernel community has quietly developed a succession plan to address the eventual retirement of its longtime leader, Linus Torvalds. Aging kernel maintainers acknowledge that relying on one individual to oversee everything posed long-term risks. This move aims to ensure the project's stability beyond Torvalds' involvement.

The Linux kernel community has endorsed a contingency plan to manage leadership transitions. This strategy aims to maintain stability in the event that founder Linus Torvalds steps down from his role.
Linus Torvalds, creator of the Linux kernel, opted for an Intel Arc B580 graphics card in his ideal Linux computer setup. This choice surprised observers expecting an AMD option, as featured in a Linus Tech Tips video. The selection prioritized quiet performance over gaming-oriented hardware to support dual 6K monitors.
