Although I doubt they had any corporate influence in the production of this particular vlog. I wonder if they would have had better luck with Kubuntu or KDE Neon? Perhaps if they're still on KDE by the time KDE releases their Arch distro variant, they could test that too on their hardware. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] F04118F@feddit.nl 4 points 1 year ago* (2 children) "The company behind Fedora" is Red Hat. Red Hat is a huge provider of Enterprise products, from Linux (RHEL, based on Fedora) to Kubernetes (OpenShift) and Ansible (RHAAP). The Red Hat Enterprise products all kind of suck compared to the upstream open source projects, but they often have a GUI. Think of it as "Ansible for dummies" or "Kubernetes for dummies". Every homelabber worth their salt knows this, and I don't think Red Hat gets a lot of sales because people like Fedora. In short: I would be very surprised if Red Hat were sponsoring videos about Fedora, let alone IBM. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] JoShmoe@ani.social 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) Is Fedora that bad?

The paid Linux for companies that want a support contract. Open source upstream is much newer, and doesn't have the bloat that Red Hat adds to Enterprise products. This goes for: Fedora -> Red Hat Enterprise Linux Kubernetes -> OpenShift Ansible -> Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform And probably others I don't know. Point is, no one is buying the whole Red Hat Enterprise suite because they personally like Fedora. They're buying it because someone somewhere in the org is (rightfully or not) too afraid to run open source software without being able to call in support from a company that knows how it works very well. permalink fedilink source parent
