Most people only relate Linux to Ubuntu, Linux init system to SysVInit or SystemD, Containerisation to Docker or Kubernetes, Linux desktop to Gnome.
In some cases, it may be due to official support being available but most of the time it’s just that people are being taught Ubuntu first as “THE Linux” and that’s what they use since then.
I’d be happier with just SysVInit and not SystemD
That’s fine, or someone with a brain come to pipewire systemd into decent software, either way.
Too convoluted, fit into bureaucracy and contains incentive for RedHat to not make it easier to understand. I say we shoot the entire project but that’s not going to happen with Debian and Arch using it (I cried the days they made the switch, respectively)
Hopefully IBM kills redhat with their shit touch like everything else and put them out of our misery.
Our misery indeed. But will doing that give Suse the monopoly over RPM-based distributions in the enterprise space? I don’t know. I’m happy as long as Rocky and Alma figure something out
You’re not wrong, but at the same time suse is one of the oldest distros, and having worked with them they seem to have the best attitude, I’ve never seen them be dicks about anything to anyone.
Still, never good to depend on anyone lest they turn out evil, but I’ve hated redhat since they started, they wanted to become Microsoft from the beginning and all their code looks like it came straight out of Redmond.
So I don’t see it getting worse at least.
