@fuomag9 But if you really want out of the RHEL ecosystem, I would look at #OpenSuSE leap/#SuSE SLES. SLES is built on the end public binaries as OpenSuSE Leap. It's also an rpm distro, so it should be an easier transition than Ubuntu or Debian.
I really don't understand what purpose this move serves, especially if the RHEL source code will still be available to people with access to those repos - so it's still kind of public, if you give them your personal info and update that info annually in return? Is it just to have people use different mirrors for the sources? I don't see how this entices someone to buy RHEL or get a Developer Sub who isn't already doing that.
@fedops@RL_Dane@dfloyd888 One way that #SuSE is definitely better is that #OpenSuSE Leap and SLES have reliably co-existed for nearly 8 years now. If platform predictability is now a concern, (Open)SuSE looks pretty good. As of 15.3, Leap and SLES are built from the same publicly available sources.
@popey Good old times back in 2004! I was still at #MandrakeSoft (#Mandriva) in #Paris. Mandriva had #KDE as default and #GNOME only as alternative, but still have often seen these window decorations, especially on conferences ... My last kernel compilations were only before my time at Mandrakesoft as sysadmin 1997-2000 where I had my first contact with Linux and free software (#SUSE 5.1) Printing is all-userspace, lots of poor-student-desperate-to-print created drivers for cheapo printers ...
