Keynote: Linus Torvalds, Creator of Linux & Git, in conversation with Dirk Hohndel
summary
Announces that Linux follows a roughly three‑month release cadence with 5.2-rc6 arriving unusually large, usually finishing at rc7; each release aggregates about ~1,500 contributors and roughly 100 maintainers who stage patches into a 30M-line kernel. Emphasizes layered security because hardware and kernels both fail, warns that the end of Moore’s Law will force software performance work, and cites real-world success: a VR game (Beat Saber on Oculus Quest) running on Linux as an example of new platforms adopting the kernel.
