    What makes you think I’m fond of IBM? What about IBM being creepy makes Canonical not creepy?

      Just an interesting thing in the community, how everything canonical does is immediately hate mongered by all relevant Linux media and Red Hat is given free reign

        LOL.

        So. Fun story. My dad is a Unix SysOps guy. I grew up on Red Hat. he went out to REHL’s HQ in Raleigh, NC, to get pitched their enterprise services for his org. (they were soliciting bids from several places,). In any case, he came back with, for him, a new hostility towards red hat. (“I regret setting you up with red hat…” lots of other comments that could be described as “fuck them”, he’s far less crude than I am.)

        the most hilarious part is the some of the swag was this nasty-ass 1 pound chocolate bar that they made a big deal out of. he put it out at his office and not even the office grazers that would eat 3-week old pizza left in the fridge would touch it.

        RH has fallen from grace.

        Everyone is a slave to systemd. But they seem to kinda like it, whereas Snaps are just raw garbage.
