Comment on Russia says it might build its own Linux community after removal of several kernel maintainers.

It will work just like every other Russian knock-off thing that gets made. Very shittily, and then end up in the bin.
Aren’t they still also trying to make their own Steam? 🤣

It will end up like every other Russian knock-off: made by the Chinese when Russia eventually gives up

Nah, it goes WAY back to pre-WW2. Russia basically made copying everyone else’s technology a major economic driver for them for decades, and it was all based around trying to sucker poorer countries into buying their awful products.
Cameras, radios, cars, weapons. Hell they even stole NASA Space Shuttle designs and tech to build their own, which just ended up in a junkyard.

And the Buran system was more impressive than the shuttle, capable of completely automated flight!

Oh? Which test flight demonstrated that?

So they say but since it never even went into space it’s a bold claim.

Of course everything’s made by China anyway including all the high-end stuff. The exception being computer chips.
