What do you all think of the Red Hat drama a few months ago? I just learned about it and looked into it a bit. I’ve been using Fedora for a while now on my main system, but curious whether you think this will end up affecting it.

My take is that yes, it’s kinda a shitty move to do but I get why RH decided to stop their maintenance given they’re a for profit company.

What do you guys think? Do you still use or would you consider using Fedora?

    Well, I moved away from Fedora with the licensing change and telemetry proposal. It’s a great distro and it’s pretty much the most cohesive experience I’ve had with linux, but those issues have made me wary. We’ll see where they go from here, but for now I’m looking elsewhere.

      I have no problem with the telemetry, it’s anonymized and open source. It could help Fedora. Totally different from spooky proprietary telemetry

        Also you have the ability to disable it right in the installer/welcome screen, before anything is being sent. Imo having good telemetry is important, and this is how it should be done!
