Now that Red Hat is being IBM-fied, should I leave Fedora Kinoite?
Now that Red Hat is being IBM-fied, should I leave Fedora Kinoite?
I left Ubuntu when they sent all my dock search history to Amazon. But this time is different, should I leave Fedora considering how much it is developed by Red Hat?
I've actively defended this distribution and Red Hat for many years now and I'm deep in their technology but I want to avoid being a Devil's Advocate.
EDIT: I decided to give it some more time, I'll stay on Kinoite for now, if Red Hat's IBMfication reaches Fedora, I'll switch to Debian assuming we don't have a high quality immutable replacement by then. I've been on /r/opensuse and read rbrownsuse's posts enough times to know MicroOS KDE is NOT a good suggestion, their rebranding doesn't clean up their history.
You're viewing a single thread.
You don't need to leave Fedora.
RH will just cut them out soon enough, if you believe the trends.
Best have a plan to move on FROM them, though. Look into parallel porting to PCLinuxOS for now, as it's a VERY similar maintenance routine, and it has a very wide app support window. Their unattended install (ie packer for vagrant or ovirt) is absolute ass, but that's their achilles heel. Ultimately, that may not be a problem for you.
I'd direct you to the PCL/OS lemmy sub, but I think there is none yet.
@corsicanguppy @Raphael Fedora is the beta testing platform for RHEL. Redhat will not cut them out.
They just announced CentOS is the beta platform.
