  • Yes, but none of the toys (or few, and not the big ones) are his. The GPL means the rest of the community could fork Linux from its current state and continue without him.

    And he doesn’t really do that much these days anyway. He tries to be hands off as much as possible, because Linux is much bigger than just him, and he won’t be around forever. The biggest thing he personally owns is the Linux trademark. (Not sure how involved he is in the Linux foundation day to day.)









  • You should set it back to whatever it was. It shows 5.6 GB in active use and 19 GB used for cache. You’re already using all your RAM, just not actively. You don’t sit on 100% of the chairs in your house at once either. 3 GB swap used is very low usage, which is expected when you’re not actively using a lot of memory.

    Don’t mess with things you don’t understand, especially when you don’t have an actual problem. You’re going to end up breaking things. (Which, to be fair, is one way to learn, but at the cost of breakage.)
