    Does that mean I should stop recommending people fedora with gnome?

    I’m still confused about its future

      Sadly, this move by Red Hat is not unexpected. Personally, I do not recommend any Red Hat related distros, including clones. This breaks my heart since my first Linux experience was Red Hat Halloween, but the company is just taking ugly turn after ugly turn.

        Settle down Nancy. There’s hundreds of linux distributions currently, some targeted towards desktop/gaming, and some targeted to the server and enterprise spaces. RedHat has always been the latter.

        Let’s not get all Shakespearean dramatic about it, ok?

          I mean RH is a big contributor to open source in general. I do not look forward to how they are behaving lately.

            Exactly, and they have been for years. How fucking entitled do people need to be to advocate for “free and open source” software and then turn around and removed and moan when a corporate entity decides to shift focus to something that doesn’t benefit them directly?

    What disgusts me the most about Red Hat is their fake focus on “the open source community.” The fact is, the “community” is nothing more to them than free labor. They only seek out and merge changes and fixes that appeal to their enterprise customers. Fuck them, they’re getting paid, so let them do it themselves IMO.
