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.

Nobody has stated any actual reason. Based on Linus' comments, Russophobia is the likely answer.
Fuck Russia. Pretty good reason.
For what reason do all Russians deserve to be punished and excluded as pariahs?
This is not collective punishment.
Of course it is. It is punishing all members of a nationality for the actions if their government.
I didn't realize all Russians were in the Linux kernel maintainers file. Silly me.
A trivial bad faith reading. Think about it for a few seconds more: what qualified their removal?
Read a newspaper some time. You might learn a thing about that.
lmao what kind of zinger is that
