I’m curious about what you think on how it will affect the Linux community and distros (especially RHEL based distros like Fedora or Rocky).

I’ve been avoiding all things Red Hat since they became RHEL for this reason. I saw something like this coming, I just didn’t expect it to take 20 years…

Now I’ve been using Debian-based distos on all my servers and desktops for so long that I’m not using Fedora, Rock, Amazon Linux, or CentOS by choice anyway.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
