It’s portable, scalable, and AI-ready Linux at your fingertips, now available as a technology preview.

lmao they managed to put AI in there

They did announce it the same day as their new RHEL AI tools, so they're really just marketing it accordingly ¯_(ツ)_/¯

If you think that's bad, Oracle renamed their LTS DB product from 23c to 23ai the other day.

Lol AI ready.

The marketing equivalent to "RHCE (in progress)"

[-] lemmyvore@feddit.nl 2 points 6 months ago

I wonder if it's like "HD ready".

[-] Vilian@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 months ago

at least you know your tv is 720p in that case it don't change anything

It's actually more of a UniversalBlue for RHEL. Silverblue is atomic and rpm-ostree based but doesn't boot directly into container images.

Image mode builds on the success of open source projects such as bootc

I always think its icky when companies advertise open source projects in their propriety closed source one.

[-] AProfessional@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

bootc is a RH open source project…

And RHEL is hardly closed source.

RedHat source is accessible to registered red hat users. That is NOT open source. https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/furthering-evolution-centos-stream

I don’t like the way they handle access to it, but yes it is largely made up of GPL code, is regularly redestributed and modified, see Rocky Linux or AlmaLinux.

Agreed 100%. So it's good that that's not what they're doing.

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.
