I like the quotes she put up on the screen about Canonical and System76.
I’ve kept coming back to Ubuntu over the years, but ultimately, they are a corporation, and they need to satisfy their shareholders. Someday they will likely be bought out, then who knows?
The misconception of Debian as an “outdated” distro is… alarming. IDK but I am running Debian 12 (coming from latest Fedora) and I don’t feel any sign of early deprecation or that an already “old distro”. It’s smooth, stable and usable, like things should be if you use your computer to do other stuff and you rely on your installed software to be there for you when you need it.
People tends to freak out if the latest packages aren’t installed. Stop it, please, security patches are more important than having the latest Gnome/KDE version. Perhaps if we stop selling that idea in Youtube videos, newcomers to this space will not be rushing to install the latest things without knowing if they are worth and really good distros like Debian, which is NOT a corporate backed Linux Distribution, will get more traction.
(PS: in Fedora, you are a guinea pig for future RHEL updates and ultimately, more profits for IBM)
I mean sure it’s not outdated now. But it’s only been released a month ago. What are you gonna say a year from now?
I’m excited to see what the outcome of SUSE forking RHEL will be.
- Will IBM backtrack?
- Will the SUSE RHEL fork stay separate from SLES?
- Will SLES move directly upstream or downstream from the RHEL fork?
- Will this inspire other big wigs (Microsoft?) to start work on their own RHEL equivalent distributions?
Really hoping that the enshitification of these various things, further enshitification in the case of Twitter, brings about a really fun “find out” period.
Sadly I think it will get worse in the case of RHEL. I can see IBM locking down access to many of their products to AIX, RHEL, and in many instances Windows. Currently, GPFS, something I work with a lot, supports Debian and Ubuntu (I think). It would not surprise me to see that go away.
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.
