But I imagine these industries are exactly the ones who will not rely on random free rebuilds, but will shell out the RHEL subscription without flinching, and then sleep with a peace of mind. I guess not these users making this big news (Though this is a blind guess, and could be totally wrong...)
- lelanthran 3y agoActually you're on the money and I should have considered more context when making my previous reply. Those users (of which I used to be part of) find it a lot cheaper (almost negligible) to pay for things like RHEL instead of re-certifying. You do make me wonder, though, about who the vocal users are: RHEL is not important enough to license, but important enough to not move to a different distro?

The scientific community, who run extremely high core counts and thus get a raw deal on licensing, but need the drivers for their hardware to be completely reliable as well as software compatability to work with anything from proprietary vendors that their community might need. Eg. CERN who are backing Alma linux.
