Open Source community after Red Hat decides to go closed source 😂 #linux #redhat #rhel #opensource By limiting the RHEL public sources to CentOS Stream, it will now be more difficult for community/off-shoot enterprise Linux distributions like Alma Linux, Rocky Linux, Oracle Linux, etc, to provide 1:1 binary compatible builds against given RHEL releases.

@nixCraft I can totally understand people doing that unsarcastically and banning #GAFAMs as well as #RedHat, #Oracle and #Twitter / #BlueSky personnel from their premises...

@nixCraft ok i am wildly out of the loop clearly, rhel is closed source now?!

@trecccst @nixCraft No. I think they are trying to make a joke, but it’s wildly inaccurate. Red Hat did make a change, but it’s still completely open source. https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/red-hats-commitment-open-source-response-gitcentosorg-changes

@trecccst @dustymabe @nixCraft you shouldn't apologise for assuming the opening to this was not meant as it was written... the "joke" could've been just as effective if it said "after all the redhat drama"

@trecccst @nixCraft no it is not.
Get a no-cost developer subscription and you can download all the sources.
Or get CentOS stream 9, you'll get the future and the past of RHEL inside.

@nixCraft You can get best in class stability, reliability and support from SUSE 😃

@nixCraft spreading the FUD that "Red Hat goes closed source" is really not helping the situation 🤦‍♂️

@nixCraft sounds like one hell of a reversing to do! Linux community done that with megash!t (back)doors to create wine. Why not do it with redhat?
