The Linux Foundation's report on diversity, equity, and inclusion in open source

[Atlas Sneezed]

The only problems on the immediate horizon is Intel trying to get programmable hardware management into the kernel

This is a non-issue. Intel is taking L after L from their competitors, their hardware will soon be irrelevant

Between the input of him, Kroah-Hartman, and T'so

Greg IS the problem. He seems to be the "reasonable mind" of the project, but allowed shit like kdbus to be considered, enabled Garret (mjg59) to run rampant, was the mentor of the usb bitch, and was the inital "yes" to rust-ify the kernel. Notice his current employer if you will

What sort of autism is this?

Google, IBM, Microsoft, etc all thank the other 86% for their years of hard work.

I may be one of the few people that thinks Red Hat is reasonable with its pricing. It’s not meant for home user use, it’s meant for corporate and massive data center use. You get Repo access and tech support which can eventually lead you to one of their hired Devs. If you don’t like it you can use CentOS which is a very good alternative if you have to stay within the Red Hat family of OSes. If not there are other server distros that do a good job but you need to find third party support groups to get a contract with.

Red Hat however is a bunch of evil shitheads for hiring Poettering, being in bed with the Gnome foundation, and overall just being a very politically correct software company under mother IBM.

As long as my computer uses less RAM and CPU cycles than Winblows, I'm happy, this won't change it.

The Red Hat cashed out for billions off the backs of all the 86% that do it for free.
Now IBM doesn't have to pay to develop their OSes anymore. They just have to hire some pajeets to do customer support.
And your advise on CentOS is out of date. CentOS is dead. If you want 100% compatibility with RHEL you gotta pay IBM.

People where raising the alarm for a while about all the @redhat.com email addresses infecting core projects and they where proven right. Linux will go where IBM and Microsoft want to to go now.

Red Hat, an IBM owned business, offers support for money, not an operating system for money. You can install RHEL without a support contract, use a third party repo, compile your own updates, and call it a day. Not a great choice for computing but it certainly is possible to, which lead to CCP fork of Red Hat called Red Flag Linux. I don’t see anything wrong with how they took the software and offered a support pricing plan if they can provide said support that is contractually obligated. A lot of companies do that for open source software, e.g. Cygnus Support that created Cygwin.

I have about eight years of experience of using RHEL forks like CentOS and Scientific Linux. I stopped using them before the whole rolling release nonsense; for the record I’m against that just by virtue of Fedora being the same way. This leads me to my next point there are enough distro alternatives to pick from avoid using Red Hat as a server and workstation OS.

Thank God Linux is open source so that just because some group of faggots go around calling themselves “The Linux Foundation” all it takes to to make them cope, seethe and dilate is to fork it, call it Sneed Linux and make “intentional tranny exclusion” a core value of the code of conduct all wrapped up neatly under a +NIGGER GPLv2 license.

Evil? Yes. Shitheads? Maybe not.

By commoditizing steadily more and more of the systems part of userland, they are decreasing the differences between the many distributions that moved to systemd. The low quality of all this cruft, very much like how the quality of David Cutler's NT kernel started to become increasingly less relevant starting around NT 3.51 increases the need for the support they offer. The combination should increase their market share, except now we can reasonably hope IBM ruins their support offerings.

Yes, Red Hat Is trying to turn Linux into a monolithic windows knock-off in a walled garden. But not only exactly since Poettering. Kinda old news really. IBM buying them is very apropos by the way because they really wrote the book on that kind of stuff dating way back to before some of the people here even being born.

The only good thing is that communications degrees don't write good code. People need to learn to stand up to the bullshit, then it will go away. There are countless examples where a simple "lol no" by a dev stopped the crybullying of these types in it's tracks right then and there. It's when you give them an inch where they will take a mile. This really needs to be common knowledge. Don't negotiate with terrorists.

They turned his daughter against him, which of course is partly his fault, but this is a classic totalitarian move.

I've heard about this a bit, but what happened?
