From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Who cares?
My company's 9,000 CentOS machines and over 100,000 containers now mostly run Amazon Linux or Alpine. Rocky Linux was preferred by some, but we led the way and the rest followed. Our final licensed RH systems will also disappear this quarter (legacies of a DC-centric era), and we will be free of them.
It was inertia that kept us with RH, but their bad faith moves kicked us into action. We now have better security tooling and processes all around, too.
Good riddance, Red Hat (and IBM, until your next acquisition and corporate strangling)!
I immediately called this after IBM bought Redhat. Its the same story that always happens: large company buys out other large company and runs it into the ground.
Wouldn't say always. Here in Canada our telecoms have a great time buying out competitors, making a ton of money, and fucking over customers. The last one was Rogers' acquisition of Shaw, Shaw being huge and Rogers being fucking massive.
I still can't believe that deal was allowed to go through.
