- cvwright 3y agoIn practice, that would require those companies to pay for a distro like RedHat, who supports a lot of the kernel dev work. But unfortunately everyone would rather find a way to get RH packages for free, and RH/IBM has only made the situation worse by alienating people.

- INTPenis 3y agoGood for them. With that kind of gumption I'm sure we'll see them running on a lot of devices, mars landers and practically the entire infrastructure of the internet in no time.
