    I am confused, help.

    Linux Foundation is HQ'd in SF. Linus lives in the US.

    NixOS needs Linux. There are many US devs and corps that contribute. How can this be a clear-cut divorce? Is NL going to fork, ala Red Flag Linux?

    What about WhatsApp? IG? (I don't use them, but everyone else around me does).

    Man, this is all bonkers, the damage is done even if the next election goes a saner way.
