Wow! Torvalds Modified Fedora Linux to Run on his Apple M2 Macbook
Linus Torvalds likes to build and fix things. Of course, he has the technical expertise to tinker with various things.
Not a surprise if you know that he created Linux as a clone of UNIX from scratch because he could not afford a UNIX system.
For a similar reason, he also built Git after BitKeeper was no longer free to use.
He continues his tinkerer spirit and the 'i can fix that' attitude even today.
He managed to run Fedora Linux 36 Workstation edition on his Apple Macbook Air M2.

Rust’s implementation in the Linux kernel to appear in version 6.1
Speaking at the Linux Foundation’s Open Source Summit in Dublin, Linus Torvalds, the creator of the Linux kernel (and the Git version control system), confirmed that the new hotness in computer programming languages, Rust, would be included “to a small extent” in the next-but-one kernel release, slated to be 6.1. He also reiterated that the kernel’s version numbers bore more relation to his own inability to differentiate versions in his own mind than it did to the scale of changes in point or full-version nomenclature. Version 6.0, therefore, will not be an especially noteworthy release, despite the rollover from versions 5.19 to 6.0.

Linus Torvalds: Rust may make it into the next Linux kernel after all | ZDNET
As they do at almost every Open Source Summit, Dirk Hohndel, chief open source officer at the Cardano Foundation, and Linus Torvalds, Linux's founder, talked about all things Linux and the keynote discussion at Open Source Summit Europe in Dublin Thursday. Usually, it's interesting, but there's no breaking news. "Usually." This time was different. Torvalds announced that he would propose adding Rust to the next Linux kernel, Linux 6.1, at the Linux Kernel Maintainers Summit later today.
