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).

I'm going to continue running Debian as I did since 2003 or so.
-
I'm happy for you. Some of us have commercial software that needs a RHEL like distro to run.
-
supposedly you pay for this software. might as well pay for RHEL too then.
-
We are, but some orgs are more cash strapped than mine.

With all the new updates happening around all the Linux peripherals, I wouldnt like to stay behind for the next 2/3 years on Debian
-
Anything that is old on Debian is even older on RHEL so I don't understand your comment.
-
Except not everything, as RHEL has selection of software updated to newer versions. Debian just keeps everything old.
-
Debian has great backports support. And if you need fresher software use nix, flatpak, etc, or run testing or unstable.

What is happening?
-
You don't have to use stable for the entire duration of debian 12, switch to testing after say about six months, I'm running testing right now (by accident, forgot I was tracking testing and not bookworm/bullseye) only found a tiny bug with libvirtd.
Debian is lovely os.

Someone has no idea how Debian works.
