Includes interviews with both RedHat and Rocky Linux.
I can put some faith in SUSE, they’ve done good work throughout the years.
Unlike fucking Oracle.
It’s incredible to me that all this has led to Oracle looking like the good guy here. Fucking ORACLE. 2023 is weird, man.
Oracle’s OEL is the reason all of this happened in the first place, lol. I don’t think there are any good guys or bad guys in all this, just corporations doing what corporations do: make money. Oracle and SUSE smell blood in the water and are trying to capitalize as much as they can. I don’t blame them.
Oracle repackaging another distribution for no other reason than that they want to is the core concept of the license of the Linux kernel. They didn’t do anything wrong. That’s how it’s intended to work.
RedHat doesn’t get to just claim the benefits of that license then shit a brick when someone else does the same. They’re perfectly free to write their own OS without GPL code if they don’t want to be held to the GPL.
That’s pretty awesome and a good read. Maybe I should have given SUSE more of a fair shot.
Do they explain it well?
Not half bad, actually! Admittedly, it’s a bit of a complicated story.
Will the RHEL SUSE form be the first server-oriented distro based in Europe?
Suse Linux Enterprise Server has been around for a long time. https://www.suse.com/products/server/
SLES is OpenSUSE’s own competing product to RHEL. There’s also Ubuntu Server.
