That LinkedIn comment you quoted feels really ChatGPT to me. Mostly because it smashes reasonable ideas together into some BS and then summarizes it’s own response several times.
Comment on Bill Gates and Linus Torvalds meet for the first time.

One of the replies to the LinkedIn post:
Dave Cutler (Windows NT) and Linus Torvalds (Linux kernel creator) wouldn’t meet casually; they’re almost certainly plotting a next-gen AI-native operating system (AI OS). With Azure CTO Mark Russinovich in the mix, the effort looks Microsoft-centered and cloud-first.
Key ideas: “Processes” become agents; Command line / GUI replaced by a natural-language interface; Hybrid Windows + Linux kernel layers, orchestrated on Azure for large-scale LLM and agent workloads
Bottom line: expect a Microsoft-led, AI-centric OS that re-imagines traditional operating-system architecture for the LLM era.
Talk about talking out of your ass.

It was posted by the CEO of some random AI company so the distinction is probably nil

That HAS to be sarcasm … right?

Yes, it’s obvious sarcasm. But reading comprehension has seriously gone to shit in the last decade or so.

You’ve not been briefed on the current state of the world if this is obvious sarcasm to you.

This.

Just in case that putting processes in quotation marks (but not agents) wasn’t enough to convince you how deeply unserious this person is, they threw “azure-hosted kernel layers” in there.

Yes, this is bullshit.
While some sort of a redesign of part of Linux’s internals I could imagine.
In terms of kernel ABI stability Linux is often criticized even in comparison to BSDs.
And in general its insides are more messy and “naturally grown”, or so I’ve heard (OpenBSD is the only OS whose internals I’ve made myself familiar with sufficiently ; also put some effort for FreeBSD).
So my, eh, alternative opinion would be that something is brewing for Linux like what Digital Unix was for BSD Unix. A hybrid cleaned up kernel, maybe support for different ABIs (like what exists in FreeBSD for Linux and older versions of itself, except maybe more ambitious). Maybe even tackling a more open alternative to NT (itself alternative to VMS and David Cutler being the man who did that) while they’re at it. NT is not a bad thing. Even Windows is not a bad thing. Maybe Wine isn’t enough, or maybe it would be cool to have something possible to make compatible with many Windows device drivers.
At least I hope it’s Linux learning to do EEE and not the other way around.
Though with Bill Gates and Dave Cutler this really seems like a meeting of legends and nothing more. They’re cool people, but I don’t think they want to play global thermonuclear computing war at that age, unlike just global thermonuclear war IRL, this one is more attractive for younger people. Even if it’s about some project being born, I’d expect that to be “just for fun” for everyone involved, they deserve that after all.

Add long as it has nothing to do with Linux, I don’t care

They can call it GlossolaliaOS or something.

Talking out of your AIss*
Or just great satire, what’s even the difference between that and reality these days?
