    When other companies made a business out of building a clone distro from the source

    This has a name… someone help… tip of my tongue… aaaaah… FREE SOFTWARE?

    Did Red Hat invent linux? Did Red Hat write bash?

      What even is the point you think you’re arguing against with me? Someone asked when RedHat decided to change aspects of their business model and I provided an answer. I didn’t say I agree with it. Even in the face of me saying literally “I don’t support RedHat” and “I haven’t used RH in like 20 years” you seem really dedicated to convincing yourself that I just love RedHat and think they can do no wrong. Geerling is right. RedHat is stupid, and IBM is killing whatever was left of the brand. There are many, many alternatives to RedHat. Both free and commercial. Lets use them instead of clinging to RedHat-but-not-RedHat-because-we-don’t-want-to-pay-RedHat.
