From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Lol sanctions and racism are different. My argument about relocating destroys yours.
So your argument is that Linux foundation should relocate to.. where? Sorry that was such a bad argument that I did not even consider it being one.
Why would they relocate? To keep a few Russian maintainers? Because not relocating is "racist"? Not sure what you mean, just trying to guess.
Savage truth.
Somewhere stable and neutral like Switzerland or some island. I'm not a lawyer so can't say which country is the best for it.
To some extent, yes.
Switzerland is currently sanctioning Russia. Let me say that again to be clear: moving to Switzerland, the most neutral country in the world, will not prevent you from having to abide by sanctions against Russia.
"Russian" is not a race. And Finland has a history with Russia that isn't easily forgotten. That is to say, every Finn I've spoken to hates Russia for invading Finland... Twice...
Finland isn't even the only neighbour that hates Russia. At some point one has to wonder why so many of Russia's neighbours hate, or at the very least don't feel comfortable with, Russia.
Maybe, just maybe, the reason why everyone is having issues with Russia is Russia's own damn fault.
That's true but nowadays the word "racism" is used as a full synonym to "discrimination".
A person who thinks that the terms "Russia" and "a Russian citizen" are the same is hopeless and must be eliminated at all costs.
No, let's not degrade language like that.
And "eliminated at all costs"? Sounds exactly the kind of thinking that leads to getting shut out and cut ties. Good riddance.
It's ok to discriminate against a nation for waging war. Should be done to any nation. Including Israel, etc.
I get it and do it myself against the USA. But there are always people in these countries who disagree. That's why blind discrimination is bad and cannot be good by definition.
I don't think they're blind by seeing them invade a sovereign nation and wanted to damage them in return to try to prevent them from doing it again (again (again...)). I don't think you understand what you're saying if you think the sanctions are done blindly.
I'm not going to reply to the other comments but I can reply to this one. Sanctions aren't done blindly but sometimes they just aren't done right.
Let me make an example. Imagine if owning high pressure water pumps became illegal because they can be harmful and there was no exception for firefighters and car wash companies so all of them in the country got arrested.
