A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

This is a reason of why we should avoid using Oracle Java, especially for commercial purposes and in-use for enterprise purposes, and we can see here, its also cost for education institutional too.
Java is still free, but just avoiding using Oracle Java. Oracle providing OpenJDK for free too, but guess, there are third-party 'forks' which seems is more better. Here's the website you can consult: https://whichjdk.com/ and the author of that website recommends: Adoptium Temurin, Azul Zulu, Bellsoft Liberica, & Amazon Corretto.
Personally, Im stick to using Amazon Corretto 😅
