    Most likely never unless there’s a separate foundation in say China/Russia that matches the millions in funding of the Linux foundation (in the ol’ USA) and the amount of engineers and there was a drive to do so. The Linux kernel is intentionally designed to be as unfriendly to fork as possible with GPL symbols and its monolithic design meaning it has to absorb up all the hardware drivers in-tree and be compiled in rather than be installed in userspace. I have no idea why Linus Torvalds thinks anyone can fork Linux other than ultraliberal chauvinism since he knows it’s impossible.

    China’s Huawei has their own OpenEuler but that just seems constrained to enterprises and huawei’s own products with HarmonyOS. Only KDE/GNOME on Linux have seriously tried creating an international free desktop.
