I've had discussions with the powers that be at my work environment. I frankly think this will be the dog biting the hand and (as previously mentioned given both Redhat and IBMs greed and track record) is overdue.
I wouldn't be surprised that the community would some how get enough momentum and make a similar move that Microsoft did back in the 80s, when everyone released their own version of DOS, to go in a separate direction and turn the market.
it may take a year or two, but i wouldn't be surprised to see a new linux alternative to rhel on the horizon
- lockhouse 3y agoThere are no shortage of alternatives: SLES, Oracle, and Ubuntu if you want support. Debian, Arch, Slackware, and a host of others if you don’t care about support. There’s even alternatives to Linux itself: the BSDs, Solaris/Illumos, even Windows Server. I think Red Hat will stick around. This move doesn’t change much for the typical people and organizations that choose to pay for RHEL.
- comfypotato 3y agoThis comment strikes me like a breath of fresh air amongst a lot of bad breath. RHEL has taken a step that looks like Solaris etc. of the past, but aren’t the ecosystems completely different nowadays? It seems like it’s comparing apples to oranges.
