Decades ago Linus Torvalds was asked in an interview if he feared Linux to be replaced by something new. His answer was that some day someone young and hungry would
come along, but unless they liked writing device drivers Linux would be safe.
This is all paraphrased from my memory, so take it with a grain of salt. I think the gist of it is still valid: Projects like Asterinas are interesting and have a place, but they will not replace Linux as we have it today.
(Asterinas, from what I understood, doesn't claim to replace Linux, but it a common expectation.)
