Fedora is heavily controlled by Redhat. The people behind it are pretty much all Redhat employees and the trademark is owned by Redhat.
With that being said, I think Redhat does a decent job with Fedora. They allow the project to run on its own and provide plenty of funding and man hours. This is mostly due to it benefiting them in various ways but it also means that Fedora will never have funding issues.
One complaint I have is that Fedora doesn't seem to want to recognize that Almalinux and Rocky exist. In the forums they commonly promote Fedora server instead and for the bootc docs they only list Fedora, Centos and RHEL even though Almalinux has a bootc image.
Let me pick this apart piece by piece because you don't understand how any of this works, and for your uninformed answer from AI or Reddit:
@just_another_person @possiblylinux127 On point #4, how so?
How so what?
@just_another_person What is the difference in userbase and use cases between fedora and alma or rocky? I have all three and don't see any notable differences between them except fedora is a bit more current.
You're an amateur user. Engineering teams need long term and stable distributions with frequent security updates to be stable for long periods of time. That is why LTS releases exist.
@just_another_person I've been using Linux in a commercial setting since 1991 when you had to compile you're own kernel and userland, and I am using it commercially today, so no I am not an amateur user. Ad hominem attacks don't benefit anyone.
Nah, you weren't. Nobody was using it in a "commercial setting" in 1991. In fact, it didn't even do anything in 1991 boot sort of boot, and it had a somewhat functional input and TCP/IP stack if you were lucky enough to even keep it stable enough. People weren't even using it in research settings in 1991 for this reason, because the very basic running kernel released in September of that year with ZERO functionality but the above.
I don't even want to continue to railing on you, but your post history has all the facts of your first uses of Linux in between a bunch of far-right conspiracy junk, anti-vax ranting, and Doomsday Prepper thoughts, and then a bunch of overstating your expertise in seemingly everything that contradicts previous statements you change at will to make a point.
You're just a sub-par Internet troll, guy. The fact you even asked this question is hilarious because you don't understand the need for LTS focused releases of a distro 😂
They could mean that they were a Unix user since 1991. They could also mix up years, which would be natural. Say, with 1993 or 1994. In any case you're the obvious RH shill here.
@just_another_person In what ways do the use cases and userbases vary between these distros?
See my other comment to you, guy. Ya blocked.
