You can fork it but the problem with that is you still need the Linux Kernel. Unless you plan on reading the million+ lines of code and can create your own hardware drivers, your gonna need the kernel.
The Kernel can be forked as well, is there something I am missing?
Well yes it can be forked but if new hardware comes out who is going to write the code to make it compatible? Writing drivers for new processors isn’t exactly easy.
You fork and continue to use whatever new code they use as allowed by the license. You build a new community that not woke and eventually you become the mainstream.
