       If you need an enterprise-grade Linux distribution without a commercial license agreement, AlmaLinux is for YOU! 🫵

       @almalinux not sure if that's implying that RHEL has a "commercial license agreement" but that's not the case (except in the sense that Alma too can be said to be commercially licensed) 🤓

       @richardfontana nah, not meant to throw shade in the way you’re implying. We’re still very young and are still educating the majority of the Linux-using world about who we are.

       @benny it's not specific to Alma, I find it frustrating when people, including unfortunately some Red Hatters, speak of "RHEL licenses" when they mean RHEL subscriptions

       @richardfontana @benny It's incredibly annoying. When I observe it, I have to bite my tongue really hard. It's amazing (in a bad way) how much that's said.It really sucks because it also makes the "value of subscription" conversation so awkward and difficult.A few years ago, I put a comment on Reddit where I described the value proposition of RHEL. I think it still mostly holds true today: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/s8cyfi/rhel_workstation_best_option_for_me/htwmb79/
