At the virtual conference held last week, \"Open Source Summit and Embedded Linux<\/a><\/noindex>\" Linus Torvalds
\ndiscussed<\/a><\/noindex> discussed the present and future of the Linux kernel in an introductory talk with Dirk Hohndel from VMware. During the discussion, the topic of generational shifts within the developer community was addressed. Linus pointed out that despite the project's nearly 30-year history, the community is not that old overall \u2014 there are many new developers who are not yet 50. The veterans are indeed aging and turning gray, but those who have been involved for a long time have generally moved away from writing new code to focus on tasks related to maintenance or management.<\/p>\n

The search for new maintainers is noted as a major problem. There are many active developers in the community who are eager to write new code, but few are willing to dedicate their time to maintenance and reviewing others' code.
\nIn addition to professionalism, maintainers must have unquestionable trust. Maintainers are also required to be continuously engaged in the process and to work diligently \u2014 a maintainer must always be available, reading emails every day and responding to them. Working under such conditions demands a high level of self-discipline, which is why there are few maintainers and they are in short supply, making the search for new maintainers who can review others' code and guide changes to senior maintainers one of the main challenges in the community.<\/p>\n

When asked about experiments in the kernel, Linus remarked that the kernel developer community can no longer afford some of the crazy changes that were made in the past. While earlier development was not binding, now too many systems depend on the Linux kernel.<\/p>\n

In response to a question about rewriting the kernel in languages like Go and Rust, as there is a risk that by the 2030s C developers will become like current COBOL developers, Linus replied that C remains among the top ten popular languages, but for non-core subsystems, such as device drivers, the possibility is being considered. of<\/a><\/noindex> providing bindings for development in languages such as Rust. In the future, different models for writing such secondary components are expected to be offered, not limited to the use of the C language.<\/p>\n

Intention<\/a><\/noindex> Apple's plan to use ARM architecture processors in desktop computers and laptops has prompted Linus to express hope that this move will make ARM more accessible for workstations. For the last 10 years, Linus has complained about the inability to find an ARM system suitable for a developer's system. Just as Amazon's use of ARM has helped advance this architecture in server systems, it is possible that thanks to Apple's efforts, powerful ARM PCs usable for development will become available in a few years. new PC<\/a><\/noindex> based on an AMD processor, Linus mentioned that everything works fine, except for a very noisy cooler.<\/p>\n

Regarding core development, Linus expressed that it is both boring and interesting. Boring because it involves the routine of bug fixes and code tidying, but interesting because it constantly requires engaging with new technologies, interacting with hardware at a low level, and overseeing everything that happens.<\/p>\n

Regarding COVID-19, Linus noted that the pandemic and isolation periods did not affect development since the interaction processes are based on email communication and remote development. None of the kernel developers that Linus interacts with were affected by the infection. There was concern over one colleague's disappearance for a month or two, but it turned out to be related to the onset of tunnel syndrome.<\/p>\n

Linus also mentioned that when developing kernel 5.8, more time will need to be spent preparing the release, and one or two additional test releases will need to be issued, as this kernel turned out to be extraordinarily large<\/a><\/noindex> in terms of changes. But overall, work on 5.8 is currently going quite smoothly.<\/p>\n

In another interview, Linus stated<\/a><\/noindex>, that he no longer considers himself a programmer and has moved away from writing new code, as he has long only written code in the email client. Most of his time is spent reading emails and writing messages. His work mainly involves reviewing patches and pull requests sent via email newsletter, as well as participating in discussions of proposed changes. Occasionally, he explains his idea using pseudocode or suggests edits to patches, which he sends in response without compilation and testing, leaving the task of refining it to the original author of the patch.<\/p>\n
