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.

Still not saying it's any good after he became geopolitical.
Literally required to do it by law of sanctions
I already explained my point about it. A lot of companies rebased themselves when political issues occured. The Linux Foundation could easily do that. It's just racism.
They are bound by USA sanction law, moving to another NATO country would be same sanctions against Russia
I honestly don't remember saying anything about NATO.
So your advice is basically "come on, guys, you can resist russian aggression in ways that don't involve conflict, stop the sanctions and side with Russia pls"?
No. As the instigator of this conflict, Russia can back the fuck down.
At this point I'm sure you're just trolling. I fully support sanctions against Russia but not against Russian people unless they were officially proven to actively support the war, especially if their actions don't result in income to Russian Federation in taxes. I think I made it clear.
Also Linus supports US's terroristic acts and invasions by paying taxes to the country so it's not necessarily any better.
Sovereignty is the deeper moral right. It is any sovereign individual or group's right to accept or reject an authority they choose to, and they must deal with the consequences of that (often implicit) choice.
A sovereign entity who is by choice or otherwise subject to a malign power will become a channel for that malign power, regardless of whether or not they intend to. And even when there is no malign intent, there can be fundamental disagreements between sovereign states.
It is very possible the individuals don't support Russia. But aside from aiding and supporting defection, there's not much we can do until Russia demonstrates a will to relinquish a hold on Ukraine, who has clearly demonstrated their sovereignty.
This is an opinion but a very questionable one. However it's impossible for those who support it to understand it because of their severe mental issues. That's where physical elimination should come into play imo.
Also since both of our opinions include aggressive attitude towards certain groups, you may not argue with that aspect.
