cough debian edition cough
Why do Linux people shit talk each other for using a different distro? It makes no sense.
Because they can't handle the templeOS supremacy
All praise temple OS the holiest of the holy.
It's (usually) all in good fun.
Anyway, we can't talk shit to anyone except each-other. No one else understands our jargon.
yeah, and besides, we're all Hannah Montanna Linux bros. GTFO if not HML
Why can't everyone just use the distro that is right for them, which is Arch?
Or Gentoo! Or LFS! Or Slackware. Or Alpine. Or NixOS. I use Arch, by the way.
Closest thing a lot of us have to team sports
Because the ubuntu edition is just sypware (thanks canonical). Linux is great, but their are good and bad choices to be made
Can you tell me more about Canonical spyware?
Its pretty well captured through this post:
I don't have a horse in the race, because Linux anything is better than the alternatives but I do think its funny that this infographic says Ubuntu has pushed malware through apt, but makes no mention of the XZ backdoor for Debian

None of it seems to suggest it's spyware. I agree they do bad practices but spyware? C'mon
Also linux mint(the ububtu based one) also removes snaps and everything. How can you say anything like that about mint then?

On the server...? Isn't RHEL used primarily on servers?
Yes and no. Fedora is the upstream of RHEL, and like Fedora there are both workstation and server editions. The relationship is similar to RHEL being the LTS of Fedora but not quite the same. A lot of governments and enterprises that have switched to Linux for workstations are using RHEL.

Hatred Enterprise Linux being marketed to the US gov
They would dismantle that and would do Hatred From Scratch.
Scratch might be complex for their mental age.
Hated, the new Systemd component. It replaces sudo cursing at you and occasionally discriminates some users on the system. Once every few years it revokes your admin privileges for some bogus reasons and tells other users false log readings supposed to show that you're a danger to the system.

Didn't notice the community, came here hoping for a RHEL shitpost.
Got confused when there was only RHEL shitposts.
Haha, I was quite pleasantly surprised too, expecting at least someone hopping in for RHEL shitpost!
I don't think even England wants Kings
Yeah Lizzy was ok (still monarch and all that but she was like our collective grandma) but this new one is kinda bad imo.
"You're not my real grandad" vibes
If only Cromwell hadn't been a genocidal madman who banned Christmas and music, Britain would still be a republic today.

Red Hat are well known supporters of Israel right? They literally have part of their business there
Most large tech companies have offices in Israel. Israel positioned itself as a "high-tech nation" to a huge degree, and there's tons of engineering talent here that companies rightly want to hire and capitalize on.
Whether that makes these companies "supporters" of Israel is up to your interpretation, I guess, but it's more likely to just be the smart move without any political agenda. Not to mention that they've had offices here for years and years, well before Israel's recent wars and plummeting of their international image. At that point the company already had lots of its workforce here and closing down offices would have been a shot in the leg.
Yes, they work closely with the IDF. There is no doubt that they are supporters of Israel.

That signature is crazy, it looks like they have like ten underscores as part of their last name

You can't spell Methwhore without mother
Fun thing.
Back in the day, I left Fedora and RH-based distros in general precisely because of the racist attitude of their communities and official sites towards Latin American users, including attempts at profiling on their community support channels. I guess not much has changed since then.
there's WAY too many nazis in open source. it makes me so mad. the originators of these tools and licenses believed in making tools available for everyone so that we could be the owners. but then these fucking selfish assholes don't want anything but for themselves. they contribut to Linux, sure, but not out of any desire that Linux grow or be usable for everyone, but just out of their own desire to not pay for something and then an opportunity to weild petty power over someone.
i am so sorry you experienced that. it was not an experience anyone should have to endure.
The first time I heard of red hat, all I could think of was these
I'm okay with this, Redhat has always sucked.
