I'm in the way of getting it off the ground, though I still don't know where to branch off from the main branch. First known AI slop contribution?
What should be the name? While "zilix" would be an obvious one, I want to avoid the ego issue Linus Torvalds have developed. Name it "Rockhopper" maybe? Or some other species of penguin? Leave the penguin branding in the past with Linus?
But I know that I'll try to reach out to contributors of Linux who are dissatisfied with the current direction of the kernel. And that I will try to lobby some memory safe API into the kernel (SafePosix?), meaning null terminated strings will be the no longer preferred alternative, for backwards compatibility only, though some functions may still return a null terminated string for simplicity sake, but now alongside with a length indicator.
