What do you all think of the Red Hat drama a few months ago? I just learned about it and looked into it a bit. I’ve been using Fedora for a while now on my main system, but curious whether you think this will end up affecting it.

My take is that yes, it’s kinda a shitty move to do but I get why RH decided to stop their maintenance given they’re a for profit company.

What do you guys think? Do you still use or would you consider using Fedora?

    I had settled on Fedora but after that debacle I decided to move to OpenSUSE - no complaints there.

    There’s plenty of choice, why stick with Red Hat?

      I did the same thing, actually. 😅

      Ubuntu drama, switched to Fedora

      Red Hat drama, switched to OpenSUSE.

      But now I have to learn everything because I’m still stuck on APT. I like Zypper and OPI, though. I just wish it wasn’t so freaking slow.

          It’s not really that I dislike Snap, but the little petty war against Flatpak that Canonical has started is just an 'ick to me. Besides that, switching was a no brainer for me I like bleeding edge software, and I own an Intel Arc card, which benefits from the improvements found newer versions of Mesa.

            True, I tried snap on desktop a few years ago. Now I run Ubuntu server with everything I can in docker.

        ‘sudo zypper ref’ and ‘sudo zypper dup’ (or up on leap) has done the trick for me. It’s a bit slow though true.

        Being able to use .rpm files is nice though
