Well, this is disappointing, to say the least.

@cmccullough I have absolutely never, in my 30+ years as a computer toucher, not one time been able to keep a RedHat system of any flavor stable.

It will always *seem* stable, until a reboot or an update, then it's borked.

Always been a Debian guy because of that. The only problems I ever have on Debian based systems are actually NVidia problems.

Seems I got lucky to back the right horse.

@roknrol I've been a Linux and Unix user for more than 30 years, with the last 20 on Debian. I have zero reasons to use anything else. 👍️

@cmccullough I first started on Slackware but didn't know very much about computers, even after getting it going.

I tried Redhat, then Mandrake, and...hell, over the years a lot of appliances that were built around RedHat. The appliances usually worked ok, but man...every single time I strayed away from a Debian base, I regretted it*.

* there are exceptions for bootable distros like Puppy and stuff for recovery and repair work.

@cmccullough not surprising, considering its IBM wearing their skin and they've been enforcing LLMs for everything for a couple of years now, desperately chasing the cool kids.

I'm totally unsurprised. Redhat is at the origin of far too many contentious moves over the past few years.

@cmccullough it's not like Red Hat ( or anyone else for that matter ) has any option if they are involved in software for governments since you aren't securing any contracts unless you are on the AI bandwagon.

@johannbg Sad, but true.

@cmccullough so that they can "compress the kill cycle".
