There was a short-lived fork _years_ ago that used the Linux kernel instead of Haiku's kernel. I don't even think the fork was made publicly available due to the community backlash.

Community backlash? Could you explain more? I have never heard of this before, and I am unsure why the Linux kernel would be the source of controversy as you describe it.

It's been ages, so my memory is hazy. IIRC, this is the thread that spawned the issue:

Backlash might have been a strong word to use. Concern might be better fitting.
