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.
Ubuntu drama? Don’t like snap or something else?
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
Very helpful, will try.

Eh, who used Leap anyhow? Tumbleweed should be used by pretty much any home desktop user
The drama is about Red Hat ENTERPRISE Linux, not about Red Hat Home Desktop Linux.
