I had the thrill of a lifetime, hosting dinner for Bill Gates, Linus Torvalds and David Cutler. Linus had never met Bill, and Dave had never met Linus. No major kernel decisions were made, but maybe next dinner
One of the replies to the LinkedIn post:
Dave Cutler (Windows NT) and Linus Torvalds (Linux kernel creator) wouldn’t meet casually; they’re almost certainly plotting a next-gen AI-native operating system (AI OS). With Azure CTO Mark Russinovich in the mix, the effort looks Microsoft-centered and cloud-first.
Key ideas: “Processes” become agents; Command line / GUI replaced by a natural-language interface; Hybrid Windows + Linux kernel layers, orchestrated on Azure for large-scale LLM and agent workloads
Bottom line: expect a Microsoft-led, AI-centric OS that re-imagines traditional operating-system architecture for the LLM era.
Talk about talking out of your ass.

That backdrop makes everyone look even grayer than they are
The awful lighting on this photo makes Linus look older than Bill!

Talking out of your AIss*
Or just great satire, what's even the difference between that and reality these days? -
That is wild they've never met.
I imagine Linus never seeing a point to such a meeting.

Linus looking healthier than ever, dog. Good for him. Live your best life, baby.

Haha I read that as gayer.

Same. At this point I think he probably did it more to indulge those who wanted that to happen than actually wanting or caring about it.

Thoughts and sprayers to satire!

Dave Cutler, the legend of VMS and the NT kernel.

I like to imagine they were just side-eyeing each other the whole time.
And every movement arises suspicion. One of them jumped when the other reached for his phone in his pocket

Except for the guy on the left, who is clearly wearing a wig.

That HAS to be sarcasm .... right?

I'd have expected then meeting by chance at a conference at some point

Lean, mean, diving machine.

Tiny head though

Just in case that putting processes in quotation marks as though they're some alien concept (unlike AI agents I guess) wasn't enough to convince you how deeply unserious this person is, they threw "azure-orchestrated kernel layers" in there.
I would pay actual money to hear Linus Torvalds react to that elevator pitch.

Oh yeah, that's one of his interests, isn't it? He wrote some kind of software for that, if I remember correctly.
