It is great in theory, but everyone seems to want to have their own
distribution so rather than working together for a common goal, they're
working apart. Theoretically, the improvements go into the same pool no
matter what but I wonder if they actually do.

I don't know if it will happen but I read an article this morning that
Russia is forking the Linux kernel as a fork you to Torvalds.

I saw that also. I think it's kind of out of necessity because some morons
are blocking Russian developers from Linux kernel development due to the
Ukrainian war. Like it's the fault (if there is any fault) of the Russian
people what their government does. This is NOT what you would call "open
source." Sanctions haven't worked against Russia, let's see how well Linux
kernel "blockades" work against Russian Linux developers.

I've also read that more was made of this than was intended. So I'm not sure
which story to believe. I DO know that at least one Russian kernel developer
was blocked from contributing without going through the normal procedures
(and without acknowledgment of what he's done for the kernel) by some
censor-crazed committee or (probably) some small-minded committee member.
