I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.
Here is the source blog post from oracle: https://www.oracle.com/news/announcement/blog/keep-linux-open-and-free-2023-07-10/
RedHat really fucked up with this move. I know RedHat employees and everyone from RedHat I met so far was proud they work there and how much open source meant to the company. I guess there will be more and more redhatters looking for new opportunities in the coming months.
But Oracle? How are they better in any way? RedHat still writes FOSS software. Oracle just profited off it being easy for RHEL customers to migrate to Oracle Linux. They do add on top of RHEL, but they could built a distro themselves too.
This article reads to me like satire from Oracle.
PS: I don’t like what RH done either.
IBM
Everyone keeps saying redhat this, redhat that as if they’re talking of an independent entity. IBM bought redhat, and probably to run it into the ground too. Fuck IBM.
By the way, I still don’t believe oracle’s “commitment” to open source, but that writing was a cool slap to IBM’s face.
Microsoft is probably considering to release an enterprise Linux product right now. Perhaps called Windows Subsystem for Enterprise Linux.
Let them fight, and rock on with Debian.
Canonical has its own issues. Security updates to packages being put behind a paywall called “Ubuntu Pro” even during the LTS window is driving people away from Ubuntu right now as well.
Tbh, just stop using software well past it’s prime, or pay the cost of developing the fixes.
Everything can’t be free, at some point it’s gotta cost something.
Begun, the Enterprise Linux Wars have.
