What happened with redhat?

d3Xt3r OP , (edited )

The whole sudden shutting down of source code repos thereby putting the future of Rocky/Alma at risk, leading to a follow-on effect of sysadmins migrating away from Rocky/Alma and swearing off RH/RH-derived stuff in general.

This is the straw that broke the camel’s back. Red Hat has gotten greedier and greedier since IBM bought it. 99.99% of my work is new RHEL installs, and we are looking at Ubuntu & SLES lately.

In my last organisation, Oracle Linux had come up. Have you looked that up?

Some, yes. I think it still being Red Hat adjacent has us talking about the other two more. Should be interesting to see how it plays out. I doubt much will change and we’ll have to keep having difficult conversations with customers about RH license costs.

You’re considering changing distros due to legal restrictions, and one of the options you’re considering is Oracle?
