"Since #RedHat has no control over #RockyLinux or #AlmaLinux, it appears the company is taking aim at them by restricting #RHEL source code access to #CentOS Stream. This will make it more difficult for Rocky and Alma to maintain the 1:1 compatibility they currently have with RHEL.
Red Hat has certainly been making waves in the #Linux community. In addition to its widely criticized CentOS decisions, the company recently laid off #Fedora Program Manager Ben Cotton"
What is going on with #redhat !?
I am still waiting to learn more about how this will affect #AlmaLinux and #RockyLinux . if it does, then it's time to move from #fedora to #opensuse or #debian.
Such a massive blow to the #linux community
So… would now be a good time to remind everyone that @SUSE ALP will have 1:1 matching products available both commercially AND freely available in @opensuse?
This will be in addition to whatever based-on-ALP offerings the @opensuse project builds
Out of curiosity, have people already found out the actual reason for the #RedHat source code strategy change. It probably isn't Alma or Oracle. So is it the #NASA - #RockyLinux deal, then? That was suggested in #LinuxUnplugged episode 517.
Red Hat’s decision to lock down RHEL sources behind a subscription paywall was met with much ire and opened opportunity for Oracle to get a smack in and SUSE to announce a fork with $10 million behind it 🥊
Few RHEL community members have been as publicly irate as @geerlingguy, so we invited him on the show to discuss 💬
Speaking of Debian: don't misunderstand, Debian is one of the greatest Linux distributions ever! So is the community. But if you are used to everything working out-of-the-box for such a long time, and you have a good dozen computers to look after, then the hours of setting up basic functions after the fact can be very tedious.
[For immediate release][Reno, NV, June 22, 2023] – Rocky Linux, a prominent community-driven open-source distribution of Enterprise Linux (EL), remains confident in its ability to continue as a bug-for-bug compatible and freely available alternative to Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), despite changes in accessibility. https://rockylinux.org/news/2023-06-22-press-release/#enterpriselinux#rockylinux#opensource#linux
