Sad to see Linux turning into a web app. I thought they'd be smart enough to avoid this sort of trend. Hope they continue to support the desktop version.

Unless Linus himself is behind this project, I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Who is going to take Linus' place were something happen to him (hopefully not!), or is it going to be chaos?

I think there's enough interest in Linux desktop that it'll be maintained for a long time yet, even if a web version somehow takes off.
