En fait, le problème de RedHat, c'est qu'on a fait confiance à une entreprise seule qui s'est octroyée le droit de gérer seule une distribution GNU/Linux.
Josef #Prusa has been releasing fully open source (and awesome) 3D printers for years now, and there are tons of cheap Asian-manufactured clones for half the price (and a whole heck of a lot of trouble).
I don't remember Prusa ever talking about removing anyone's access to the code and designs of their printers if they shared it with an Asian manufacturer.
The hosts of @DestinationLinux seem like very nice people, but they are 1000% buying what #RedHat is selling.
They do point out RH's communication issues, but they don't admit to the bait-and-switch nature of the company's moves.
They're trying to make the case that #CentOS Stream, #OpenSUSE Leap and #Ubuntu LTS are roughly equal in not being the "bug for bug" source of the paid products.
There's a lot more nuance there, and that should be acknowledged.
My dislike for Red Hat goes years back, when they screwed me over, as a paying customer.
The fact that they've also snubbed their nose at the open source community is just 1 in a long list of reasons why I do not use, or trust, Red Hat products and services.
Fedora is the upstream to Red Hat. You end using their free product (Fedora) as a glorified alpha/beta tester, so they can improve their Cent OS Stream branch, which then is used to improve, Red Hat.
Meiner Meinung nach wird in der Open-Source Szene die IT-Sicherheit nicht versprochen, sondern meistens rasch umgesetzt und frei verteilt. Auch wenn das hier nun anders ist.
»Linux – root-Lücke wird aktiv missbraucht:
Die IT-Sicherheitsbehörde CISA warnt vor aktiven Angriffen auf eine Linux-Lücke. Angreifer verschaffen sich damit root-Rechte.«
As much as I appreciate #redhat and #redhatters I do strongly agree that the limitations on the $349/year self support server option are... bollocks. It wasn't always like that.
Only suitable for dev / test, but cannot be used as a virtual machine? What? Who's running their dev and test servers on bare metal in 2023?! 🤦♂️
CentOS Stream is now a good option instead I guess but pretty sure this would've pushed at least some to use a rebuild 🤔
"Debates continue, even today, in copyleft expert circles, whether this model itself violates GPL. There is, however, no doubt that this provision is not in the spirit of the GPL agreements. The RHEL [Red Hat Enterprise Linux] business model is unfriendly, captious, capricious, and cringe-worthy."
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 💬
A colleague at #RedHat teased me yesterday asking if I actually have more colours than black and Red Hat Red in my wardrobe. Challenge accepted. #LifeAtRedHat#ElevatorFashionPic
Imagine my surprise when I realized I'm enjoying Fedora. 😂
Over a decade ago, I got burned by Red Hat (before IBM bought them out). I swore up and down, I would never rely on them again. I even had a go at them (cheap laugh) when Red Hat became closed source.
—Have you tried Fedora Kinoite? 😂
After 2 plus years of SUSE not having any clear vision or direction I'm really enjoying Fedora right now. 🤣
Posts like the one screenshotted below[1] and the recent #RedHat drama makes me want to sit down and compile a list of good and bad things commercial Linux distributors like Canonical, Red Hat, and Suse have done for FLOSS over the past ~20 years.
Sadly it would be a awful lot of work and not much useful, as it's impossible to compile something like that without it being viewed as biased in one way or another.
I urge people to ditch #fedora. Since #redhat is close sourcing there is no reason to be their free testers.
What's the relation? Fedora is upstream source for Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Alternatives (my favorites):
Are there any good #debian guides for people accustomed to the #redhat ecosystem? I've always used #rhel professionally and for homelab stuff with #arch for my daily drivers. Recent events have me thinking I should know more about Debian. Outside of administering Proxmox I can't say I have much experience with it.
SUSE is committed to working with the open source community to develop a long-term, enduring compatible alternative for RHEL and CentOS users. SUSE plans to contribute this project to an open source foundation, which will provide ongoing free access to alternative source code.
