    The proprietary platforms of the world are all simultaneously shitting themselves for some theoretical profit because they all just assume their userbases are collectively idiots who will go along with whatever garbage they force upon them. Let RHEL die. Let Reddit die. Let Twitter die. The users have the power here, stop using shitty services.

    I’ve never liked the idea of RHEL but it at least made sense as a distro to use for business use with paid support, but what they’re doing now is unacceptable. As much as I hate Ubuntu these days, I’d much rather see companies using Ubuntu with their paid support plans since Ubuntu still provides open source, free access for everyone. That said, I’d much rather see people using community- or nonprofit-maintained distros over corporate backed ones. Debian is a solid choice and it doesn’t involve giving up the soul of open source to use it.
