Thoughts on RHEL going closed source ?
Thoughts on RHEL going closed source ?
I’m curious about what you think on how it will affect the Linux community and distros (especially RHEL based distros like Fedora or Rocky).

As a strictly desktop/personal Linux user, could someone enlighten me: What advantage (if any) does RHEL have over Ubuntu Pro at this point?
-
None in the personal desktop space. But RHEL is still considered industry best practice for web server deployments. Though I think that will change pretty soon.
Realistically, there is no massive advantage RHEL offers today. Historical it was the most stable and secure offering, but not anymore.

RHEL got worse, or everyone else got better?
-
The latter.

RHEL isn't considered best practice by anyone except paranoid enterprise shops that want a support contract above an actually up to date distro and kernel.
RHEL's packages were so out of date you often had to go to unofficial sources just to get something close to recent. It's less important now with Docker, but it was a pain in the ass to do lots of Docker stuff on RHEL in the early days when compared to Ubuntu due to missing kernel features.
