    They would dismantle that and would do Hatred From Scratch.

    Hated, the new Systemd component. It replaces sudo cursing at you and occasionally discriminates some users on the system. Once every few years it revokes your admin privileges for some bogus reasons and tells other users false log readings supposed to show that you're a danger to the system.

    Didn't notice the community, came here hoping for a RHEL shitpost.

    Got confused when there was only RHEL shitposts.

    Why do Linux people shit talk each other for using a different distro? It makes no sense.

    I don't have a horse in the race, because Linux anything is better than the alternatives but I do think its funny that this infographic says Ubuntu has pushed malware through apt, but makes no mention of the XZ backdoor for Debian

    That wasn't specifically Debian

    it ended up in a few different repos but was caught by someone using Debian Testing

    You're right. It was the whole Linux kernel but it was published in the official repo for Debian so criticism for Ubuntu seems hypocritical

    Thank you for the sources. However, from your own source Mint appears to be fine. Ubuntu, agreed, isn't worth touching but Mint seems to remove the problems with Ubuntu.

    4 If you are a desktop user who values control and simplicity β€” consider migrating: Linux Mint, Pop!_OS, Fedora, and Debian all offer compelling alternatives without Snap's structural issues. The migration cost is real but one-time; the ongoing friction of managing Snap on Ubuntu compounds with every package and every update.

    5 If you recommend distros to others β€” update your recommendation: Developers who previously defaulted to "just install Ubuntu" when helping friends or onboarding team members should now give this advice more thought. Linux Mint in particular offers a nearly identical user experience to Ubuntu's classic desktop with none of the Snap-related friction.

    On the server...? Isn't RHEL used primarily on servers?

  • source
  • parent
  • hideshow 11 child comments
  • [–] 14 points 7 months ago

    Yes and no. Fedora is the upstream of RHEL, and like Fedora there are both workstation and server editions. The relationship is similar to RHEL being the LTS of Fedora but not quite the same. A lot of governments and enterprises that have switched to Linux for workstations are using RHEL.

    There's desktop RHEL, we used to run a CAD software on RHEL or SUSE

    I know there is. It's just very seldomly used.

    It may not be home user choice, but in enterprise CAD PLM it is. Out of all the Desktop Distros, only SUSE and RHEL were supported so you had to pick one.

    I'm not even talking just home use. I actually work for Red Hat. Granted I work in the public sector so what I see might be skewed, but I rarely ever see anyone use the desktop version.

    Yeah, I'm sure there are segments that only use server stuff instead of workstations. I'm on the other end I only deal with desktop, as we have IT for server Stuff

    What's funny is even internally we don't use RHEL desktop. When I first stared our CSB (Corporate Standard Build) was RHEL 7. These days it is Fedora.

    Long-term support and distro-branched tool chains are a boon to the workstation too. And all of lennarts cancer has been in support of dynamic networking changes and wifi devices; no overlap with a server, but they include that shit at every turn. So obviously they're primarily geared for laptops and servers are a target of opportunity -- and their decline in stability over 3-4 distro versions just backs that up.

    Red Hat are well known supporters of Israel right? They literally have part of their business there

    Most large tech companies have offices in Israel. Israel positioned itself as a "high-tech nation" to a huge degree, and there's tons of engineering talent here that companies rightly want to hire and capitalize on.

    Whether that makes these companies "supporters" of Israel is up to your interpretation, I guess, but it's more likely to just be the smart move without any political agenda. Not to mention that they've had offices here for years and years, well before Israel's recent wars and plummeting of their international image. At that point the company already had lots of its workforce here and closing down offices would have been a shot in the leg.

    Seems like the so called "Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign" blocks all IPs from Israel. Hilarious considering the number of Palestinians whose only way to connect to the internet is through Israeli ISPs... Which is either most of them or a very significant number of them. Solidarity, eh?

    I think the suggestion was that it could be blocked if you were using VPN to access it,.not that it would need a VPN.

    Yeah, perhaps they did. As it happens, I wasn't using a VPN, but I do pay for one so I tried it. VPN to Germany -> site loaded. VPN to Israel -> same error. They literally just blocked the whole country using cloudflare... The country where most of the people they claim to have solidarity with live, and where presumably they'd want their message to be heard the most. Unless, maybe, it's just a propaganda site that doesn't actually care about Palestinians and instead has some other agenda? Hmmm....

    Arguably had to. For too many years Misguided us policies prevented exporting software with useful encryption, arguably blocked it entirely from opensource. Among the consequences was an encryption industry n Israel suitable for opensource

    spent about a week listening to this guy talk. test day given a junk, blank x86 machine, install media and a list of services to setup with about 4 hours to complete. pro tip, learn to install rhel with no gui bloat. machine was so slow i spent half the time waiting for slow hardware, cdrom to hdd copy. checked it from his laptop. got results emailed. was relieved i somehow passed. don't remember what it cost. employer paid. knew how beforehand. some people got done hours before me. no hat

    it's still "around" but its leadership and mission have changed drastically enough since IBM's purchase of RedHat to represent something completely else from what it once did and how you probably thought of it back when you paid attention to it. i'm sure if you installed it you'd find it all very familiar for a while, but eventually you'd hit something that made you go "hey wait"

    Fun thing.

    Back in the day, I left Fedora and RH-based distros in general precisely because of the racist attitude of their communities and official sites towards Latin American users, including attempts at profiling on their community support channels. I guess not much has changed since then.

    there's WAY too many nazis in open source. it makes me so mad. the originators of these tools and licenses believed in making tools available for everyone so that we could be the owners. but then these fucking selfish assholes don't want anything but for themselves. they contribut to Linux, sure, but not out of any desire that Linux grow or be usable for everyone, but just out of their own desire to not pay for something and then an opportunity to weild petty power over someone.

    i am so sorry you experienced that. it was not an experience anyone should have to endure.
