Chris Petersen@nixCraft I'm only about a 51% yes vote. Losing some seems inevitable between the "you're not open anymore" crowd, the "we'll pay less to anyone" crowd, and the "shrug, it's just another distro" crowd. I'm a little hazy on how some things will be bug-for-bug compatible if RH is back-porting fixes that don't necessarily ever go up-stream, but then I'm in the "never touch anything with Oracle's taint on it if possible" crowd...
🅱🅻🆄🅴🅱️I would be interested in what Oracle has done that makes you not trust them so much. Could be enlightening.
@BlueBee @nixCraft Gaming benchmarks, wildly misleading ad campaigns, massive failures of technical support, price gouging, etc. But, why would I willing do business with a company justifiably infamous for extortionate licensing terms and threatening to sue their own customers (and everyone else) over and over? The f'ups around their T4 hardware generation left a lot of lasting scars...
