| Interesting timing, Fedora 36 released today.
|
| RHEL 9 is surprisingly modern, being based on Fedora 34 which
| itself still has about a month of support remaining.

| I like the number 8.

| Amen! I share these thoughts and plan of action completely.

| version instead of always having to manage subscriptions.

| When RedHat officially supported a piece of hardware, and your

|
| Lots of things which are otherwise a mess in Linux just
| weren't.
|
| Of course much of my experience on this was with things like
| $10k per seat software on a $5k workstation or similar.
|
| One of the reasons containerization is so popular is poorly
| supported software (on ubuntu mostly) just being broken and
| hard to work with combined with a pretty bad way to write and
| manage packages (apt).

| What hardware do you use it on

| At work I have a dell t7920 desktop. At home I have a custome
| built desktop from 2014 with an Intel i7. Works like a charm.

| The word "Microsoft" appears 12 times in this press release.
|
| I always thought Microsoft would end up acquiring Red Hat, but
| IBM did it instead. Now I think they'll acquire Canonical. I
| think it's only a matter of time before we'll have a Microsoft
| Linux.

| Microsoft's linux platforms presently run mostly on Ubuntu.
| You're right that one way out of that dependency would be to
| buy Canonical. They chose to make their own top level Linux
| distro instead.

| rajishx wrote:
| to be fair and try to dismiss your comment, it does seem the

| To give MS credit, they are _much_ more friendly to open

| is almost entirely based around open source code) more or
| less forced their hand.

| It's a shock to me as well. I do think this direction leads

| Windows desktop isn't quite enough for their future plans

| something. (Sounds more like 2013 logic but you get the
| idea...)
