I’m curious to see how Oracle tackles this, Rocky and Alma seem to be going after the CentOS Stream packages, Amazon has already invested in AL2022/2023 which is a Fedora clone (35, or 36 I can’t remember) rather than RHEL. So it’s Oracle and all their billions that I want to see which direction they go after.
I vaguely remember hearing something about redhat in the past doing something else the Linux community didn’t like. I think it was back around 2008ish. Can anyone jog my memory? I was a bit too young to care at the time.
Right after the CentOS -> CentOS stream debacle last year, I switched to using debian for all my lab servers/infrastructure. This news makes it seem like that was definitely the right choice.
Fool me once. I ran away from anything redhat when they clamped out on my free OpenShift with whatever they are doing now. Too brutal for me.
Very frustrating to hear. I’ve been slowly migrating away from RHEL-based distros after they shifted CentOS to be upstream from RHEL. This is another nail in the coffin in my books.
