Since the Linux Foundation basically does little to nothing for Linux. What will happen when Linus Torvalds retires or dies who will take over?

Does Linus have anyone trained up to replace him?

I found this on Brave search:

 

https://search.brave.com/search?q=Who+will+replace+linus+Torvalds&summary=1&summary_og=7797bb1ee1ce32ba5efbe4

 

 

looks like there are three possible replacements.

Quite likely that's the advantage of open source.
