It's taken Wayland 16 years to become a serious alternative to X11. You think a whole kernel can do it faster?

Well, with AGI...



Can't be many years until we can take the first ever version of Linux kernel, ask an LLM to port it to Rust, spin it up in QEMU and re-prompt until it works, then feed in every patch set and ask the LLM to add these changes to the Rust version, ... repeat for 30 years of patches until the full kernel is rewritten in Rust.
