A useful reminder that the *BSDs are independent and free.

@stickus @nixCraft how do you feel about snaps?

@cykonot @nixCraft I could take them or leave them to be honest. They're just like flatpak, but not as well implemented. I'd usually prefer to have an apt repo to install from in most cases

@nixCraft I love my Debian homelab server. I use Ubuntu for anything I put in the cloud. No real reason to be honest. RedHat is nowhere on my radar and will continue to not be on my radar.

@nixCraft Debian!

@nixCraft I installed my first headless debian vm tonight. Although I think I'm going to re do my install. I deselected everything but ssh and my terminal doesn't recognize the sudo command. Guess I'm going to need those system utilities after all.

@nixCraft I have been working in the IT field for a long time (more than 30 years) and in my projects I always prefer open source solutions. Reading Mike McGrath's post I am not at all against what he says and I understand their motivations. I've worked on projects of large companies that spent a lot of money on licenses for various products, but used RHEL clones for the operating system.

@nixCraft this hurts... I have been using Redhat and it's derivates since forever

@nixCraft I feel like every post about Red Hat should also acknowledge that Oracle Linux is a bad faith actor that drove Red Hat to the precipice. Oracle, a $300 billion company, can undercut Red Hat's pricing without meaningfully contributing back to the community.

Or try opensuse. Highly recommended.

@nixCraft See reaction by SUSE and @opensuse https://fosstodon.org/@opensuse/110633130799606251 ๐Ÿ™‚
openSUSE Linux (@[email protected])

SUSE has an impressive legacy deeply rooted in the world of #opensource. As we witness #RedHat restricting public access to the source code of #RHEL, a disheartening move for our thriving open-source community, it's uplifting to see #SUSE standing firm in its dedication to the vibrant #openSUSE ecosystem. https://www.suse.com/c/navigating-changes-in-the-open-source-landscape/
