They were bought by IBM a few years back, but even aside from that they’re a corporation and they care about making money above all else.
It looks like Red Hat is doing its damnedest to consolidate as much power for themselves within the Linux ecosystem.
I don’t think the incessant Fedora shilling is unrelated.
It seems like there isn’t much criticism of the company or their tactics, and I’m curious if any of you think that should change.
I’m wary of them and I refuse to use Fedora (because it’s basically their testing bed) due to their support of the US military, in addition to the reasons you’ve mentioned. Also, I’m trying my damnedest to #BoycottUSA
I prefer LMDE. It doesn’t check all my wants, but it finds a great balance and I don’t feel like an unpaid tester.
What?
