What do you all think of the Red Hat drama a few months ago? I just learned about it and looked into it a bit. I’ve been using Fedora for a while now on my main system, but curious whether you think this will end up affecting it.

My take is that yes, it’s kinda a shitty move to do but I get why RH decided to stop their maintenance given they’re a for profit company.

What do you guys think? Do you still use or would you consider using Fedora?

    Yeah? Redhat just backs fedora they don’t own it. Fedora is completely separate and run by the community

      Fedora is not a separate legal entity. Red Hat literally owns it. At one time they had considered creating a separate Fedora Foundation but did not.

      Red Hat owns Fedora, just like how they owned CentOS. I think there’s a risk that Red Hat will make more anti user moves going forward, and I also think that it’s not worth spending time learning the “Red Hat ecosystem” now that CentOS is dead. Get away from Fedora.

        Fedora Stream?

          I know you are just joking but if Fedora Stream was a rolling release of Fedora, it might be kind of a nice distro. I guess it would be Red Hat’s answer to SUSE Tumbleweed.
