The "Linus and Dirk show" has been a fixture at Open Source Summit for aslong as the conference has existed; it started back when the conference wascalled LinuxCon. Since Linus Torvalds famously does not like to givetalks, as he said during this year's edition at Open Source Summit Europe(OSSEU) in Vienna, Austria, he and Dirk Hohndel have been sitting down for aninformal chat on a wide range of topics as a keynote session. That way,Torvalds does not need to prepare, but also does not know what topicswill be brought up, which makes it "so much more fun for one of us", Hohndelsaid with a grin. The topics this time ranged from the just-released6.11kernel and the upcoming Linux6.12, through Rust for the kernel, to the recurring topic of succession andthe graying of Linux maintainers.
