You asked for it, you got it. Here’s what I think of Red Hat.
Sorry this video took a bit longer than I’d like, since I’m working on finishing my basement (future recording space) at the moment.
Anyway, I’m not planning on dwelling much on Red Hat beyond this- my plan is to move forward with community-driven distros in mind, and recommend those to customers in the months and years ahead. I hope Red Hat gets to a good place again. We’ll see.
Supporters make this possible. Seriously, nobody’s sponsoring this video except you!

I took the same decision here, I’m just waiting for my vacation to move my personal device to Debian. Already did it for my work device and don’t regret it in the least
