Disagree, Linux is too big to fail. Too many people depend on it. It may get chaotic, but worst-case distributions will start collecting patches, as they already do for many unmaintained projects. Eventually one or two of them will emerge as the new upstream.

I guess the worst case is that future Linux will end entirely controlled by Google/Facebook/, Microsoft.

While I dislike a lot of what comes out of the FAANG companies, even if the names change over time...

I generally feel if most of them can agree on something, it's probably an okay direction.

That's generally how politics works, where you find the common ground is generally the better option for everyone.
