Seems to me they're way better than Oracle and CiQ. They're pretty much the Valve of Linux servers.
Valve requires you to have an account in order to use Steam, if you publish a game you pay a fee and have all sorts of tools, and the option to rent multiplayer servers through Steam Works.
Red Hat requires you to have an account in order to access the RHEL repos (for free) or you can add your own repositories. Offers all sort of tools for you to manage and deploy infrastructure.
Both contribute money and resources to large open source projects, and the benefits are distributed to everyone. Want to stay out of anything related to them? I don't think you even can because you don't really care about it, it is possible though.
>But muh CentOS fiasco
Happened in 2019, let it go, CentOS Stream has been brought and it is way better, CentOS was a free RHEL version that received RHEL fixes AFTER. Now it receives updates and bug fixes BEFORE RHEL does.
>But muh beta testing
You community distro and maintainers get whatever they can though, I don't see them complaining.
>But le evil corporation wants to conquer Linux
Uhhh... Are you living in 1996?
Corporations have steered Linux development and funding for decades. Linux Torvalds has been on the payroll since forever. What do you think the Linux Foundation is for?

Also the 3D stack is corporate.

Community open source works alongside corporate or competes against it.

linux trovald would sell his mother to microsoft

Like... every company involved in the open source industry?

IBM/Red Hat IS the evil corpo you fear but at least they're not retards like Canonical

>>106012611 (OP)
This is a bad comparison. If there was a alma-steam or oracle-steam that didn't require an account, there is no way I'd use steam.

>>106012611 (OP)
because it's not for you. proxmox is. red hat caters to corporations and virtualization. not some jerk jerking it to anime porn at night.

>>106012611 (OP)
Guess it's natural because of community distros even though they're hardly the workforce that uses enterprise distros

isnt redhat a conservatard company handling DoD crap?? why are they cucking themselves openly like this?

Was reading about the Post-quantum algorithms
https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/post-quantum-cryptography-red-hat-enterprise-linux-10
Found about the openquantumsafe project
https://openquantumsafe.org/
by the Post-Quantum Cryptography Alliance.

Not really related to RHEL, except for the fact they grabbed the openssl version with post quantum algorithms. Interesting stuff.

oracle is even worse

Unless you are a criminal (which I won't be surprised if u r) what's wrong with creating an account? Are you afraid to give those fuckers your info? Forget it they already know everything about us

>>106018301
It's an argument against Valve lovers who go all the way with "Red Hat bad, Valve good", because the business model is there, not saying Red Hat is bad, didn't you read the post?

>>106018301
It's retarded apples to oranges argument because you can access valve repos for free with no account needed

>valve of linux servers
yeah thats why theyre hated

>Redskirt shill thread
Don't you have third worlders and troons to waste money on?
