Yeah, much as I really really love Fedora, I think the new RHEL source policies are going to hurt the Red Hat brand more than help it… I think Debian and Suse stand to benefit more from this than RH.
Also, I see most articles/people talking about this in terms of Alma and Rocky and I’m sure that’s part of it but does anyone else get the sense that this was more aimed at Oracle Linux to gtfo their asses and make their own shit? Nothing to back that up, was just my own gut feeling and curious what others think.
Edit: thought I’d add some context… just in case some of you haven’t been keeping up with the news, referring to this:
@thatfuckinglinuxguy I’m surprised there’s not a more coherent support offering for Debian. (I’m not counting Canonical here) I know there are some small consultancies.
Perhaps this is the moment for a medium-scale Debian company to emerge. The kind of company you might do a multi-million support contract with.
