- jeremyjh 14y agoRHEL is a server product, I guess I don't follow your comment. Do they even sell desktop support? If you are suggesting Ubuntu should focus on the server market - well they have put a lot into that too but they cannot get the market share required to sustain their business from that. RHEL is far too entrenched.
- FooBarWidget 14y agoRedHat quit the desktop market years ago exactly because they found it to be unprofitable.
- keithpeter 14y agohttps://www.redhat.com/apps/store/desktop/ https://www.redhat.com/apps/store/desktop/ Red Hat seem to be selling a Desktop support package still, but minus the support! I assume this is a cost for the installer and updates. I've donated the sterling equivalent of $49 to Ubuntu, and would do that on a yearly basis if it meant a cruft free system.
