All that sounds like “I would live for my family”. That is not what was said.

The GPL says you can get the source to software that people distribute to you. Red Hat does not distribute to Rocky.
Alma is actually a real community distro. They deserve so much more support than Rocky does.
There is not much criticism of Red Hat? What? In what universe? I never see the name Red Hat absent the army of detractors they attract.
How many potential military men are there in Russia?
140 million people? Half male? Half of that the right age? 70% of that military capable? What are we at? 25 million?
Minus the million he has burned so far I guess.
How quickly or effectively could those 24 million be mobilized?
Remember too that pulling these men into the military reduces Russia’s industrial output which also has military consequences.
How big is the Russian military right now? 1.5 million active and maybe a million contract? That allows them to deploy how many in theatre (as opposed to defence and operations at home)? 500,000 maybe?
Can Putin take Europe with a pool of 20 million men where maybe 20% that number are active at a time? He seems to be having quite a time taking Ukraine.
The Russian population gets older every day. There is an excellent argument to be made that Putin attacked when he did because his draft pool will be way too small in 10 years. By that logic, unless Putin wins convincingly in Ukraine soon, it will be generations before he has a large enough army to raise any credible challenge to Europe.
Equipment wise, I do not think they are even keeping inventory constant. The number of planes, tanks, ships, and missiles goes down every day. They are maybe increasing their capability with drones.
Overall, Russia will be older, smaller, poorer, and less well equipped in 4 years.
Defeating Russia in Ukraine means taking Russia off the board for the foreseeable future (nukes aside).

Get a cheap desktop and run Windows on it. Remote Desktop into that machine to run your app.
You can use TwinGate or Tailscale to access your desktop from anywhere.
“Mac”iavellian. I see what you did there.
Services like stability, testing, compatibility, security, certification, and documentation?
I am not sure how you arrived at “none” from your second sentence. The second sentence is exactly my point.
Alternatively then, can I just use the Microsoft source code and claim that I got it from AI? That seems to be your point here.
I do not use any Red Hat distributions (not RHEL, not CentOS, not Fedora).
Red Hat is one of the largest contributors to glibc, gcc, GNU utils, systemd, ext4, Btrfs, SELinux, RPM, and GNOME. I generally try to avoid all those. However, I acknowledge that I am a heavy user of Red Hat software.
Red Hat is one of the largest contributors to Xorg, Wayland, Mesa, KVM, libvirt, dbus, podman, Pipewire, Cockpit, NetworkManager, and Flatpak. I use all of those a lot. Oh, and Red Hat has been one of the top 4 contributors to the Linux kernel for something like 20 years now. I use the Linux kernel.
If you want to avoid Red Hat software (something I see people claiming they do from time to time), you have to stay away from all the software listed on this page: https://www.redhat.com/en/about/open-source-program-office/contributions
I am ok if people dislike Red Hat and want to avoid them. I am not a user. I am not a shareholder. However, I find it hard to ignore when people claim that they DO avoid Red Hat when I know that they are knee deep in software written by Red Hat. It also bugs me when people I doubt are contributing any code rant that Red Hat are freeloaders. I do not agree with all of Red Hat's vision for Linux and do not love or all the ways the influence the Linux world. I do acknowledge their contributions and am thankful for the software that I use.
