I'm an individual freeloader, but I occasionally report bugs. I understand that I might encounter bugs and/or provide some free contributions to Red Hat, but that's in exchange for a well functioning desktop distribution.
Now, if the commercial product is the stability itself(!), why 'd you expect that stability for free?
Why should Red Hat customers pay for other, non-paying enterprise users?
- justinclift 3y agoSo, the people who put their time and effort into the upstream projects which RHEL uses (without paying them), you're saying those people are freeloaders if they want to build things on Alma or Rocky Linux? What about the CentOS users who report bugs, or help out with (say) writing RHEL docs without getting paid? You're saying they're freeloaders too? That sounds like a pretty crappy viewpoint to me, as I used to do all of the above. I did personally read the writing on the wall correctly though, with the previous major "CentOS 8 Stream" change (after the IBM acquisition). So, switched all of my stuff away from Red Hat based software at that point.
