Oh no a Linux mommy, its all I ever needed
First Linux servers I installed were RedHat 4.2. I stick with RH until 8.0. Then they stabbed us all in the back, starting to charge for it.
Have you RH users been fooled twice?
I switched to the then (and still?) distro that was most strict in commitment to FOSS - heck, they forked FireFox just because of the logo copyrights - Debian.
(RH to kubunto at home, because Debian then was (is?) too “enterprise” for home, and I wanted to stick to the same packaging)
The only other distro I’ve been using is SUSE (SLES), because that’s what SAP suports for HANA database servers.
SUSE should gradually morph the RH fork into becoming SLES, and always provide an easy automated way to migrate, a one way only route to leave RH.
I don’t want to spoil the video if no one has seen it, but all i got to say is one word: Malevolent.
Can someone rational explain the concern here?
Red Hat turning evil, Fedora (controlled by Red Hat) implementing telemetry.
I am disappointed in the direction RH has moved in, but what makes it evil? I am certain that a good portion of their work will make its way into open source projects. So it seems to me that it is a good thing that we all hope would be better. And I thought you had to opt into the Fedora telemetry. Is that not the case? If they are using it for design improvements it’s all to the good. If Fedora is selling the information and they force or trick users into it, then yes, Fedora will deserve its inevitable demise.
I am certain that a good portion of their work will make its way into open source projects.
100% should make its way, that’s open source. Now projects need to be scared when looking at Red Hat code because they might get sued for it.
If the Fedora group starts doing dumb stuff I’ll consider switching. But so far they’ve been rock solid. While Red Hat is certainly a major contributor to Fedora (the biggest easily) they don’t control it per-say.
