I am advocating for this change, one that is personal to me and echoed by Linux's creator, Linus Torvalds; making the Linux kernel proprietary. As it stands, the Linux kernel is free and open-source, a model that was chosen in its infancy to promote collaboration and innovation. But it now appears that complexities are mounting. Harmonizing the Linux kernel under a proprietary model could help streamline decision-making processes and give us more control of its future. Already Linux powers 100% of the world's 500 fastest supercomputers, showing its influence and range (Medium, 2020). ​​By making it proprietary, we can further ensure its growth and adherence to standards, providing a more unified, stable, and development-friendly environment. This is not a step backward but an evolution, grounded in current needs and shaped by future ambitions. Lend your voice to endorse this change as we urge to make the Linux kernel proprietary. You don't just sign a petition, you join a cause advocating for the modernization of Linux and its relevance to today's tech world.
