Promises, promises ........
IBM controls RHEL, the Source, already. How do you
think anybody is going to be free to create and maintain
an up-to-date clone ?
If Centos can't, nobody else can either.
RHEL/Centos is OVER. Find something completely
different - and it had better be structured as a TOTALLY
non-profit at every level - not even a penny in paid
"support".
Expect IBM or someone else to somehow try to buy
out Debian as well - and thus every downstream
derivative. Money talks and the Covid/post-Covid
environment will make a LOT of people think of
money first and foremost.
Time for a completely new OS, Linux-LIKE at many
levels, but yet NOT Linux. Do it fast ......
You go after the facts I see.Something in response to a Troll.
CloudLinux Commits Over 1 Million Dollars to CentOS Replacement
Dec 21, 2020 by Jack Wallen
An open source, drop-in replacement for CentOS is on its way.
Whether you use CentOS for your servers or your desktop, the
embroiled Linux distribution has recently found itself in a state of
tumult. You're probably wondering where to go now?
If you're not in the know, Red Hat has decided to end CentOS as
it stands, in favor of the rolling release, CentOS Stream. This decision
has placed a large number of the Linux community in fit of pique,
looking for a new distribution to handle what CentOS handled with
agility, security, and reliability.

So Linux has one less crisis on hand.
bliss - Nearly any fool can use a computer. Many do. After all here I
am...

RHEL is heavily "value-added" - and it thus controls all
those neat-o features/utilities. RH/IBM does not have to
share them with *anyone*.
So, if you need to make distributed clusters work together
properly and "easily" you WILL pay for brand-name RHEL,
or take yer chances with whatever alpha code RH decides
to test out using Centos.
I think it is important to protect the other half of the equation,
the Debian-derived end. Employ every legal shield and add
"poison pills" everywhere.
Further down the line, yes, I still think a "Not-Quite-Linux"
new OS will be required. I hearby claim the name "NQL-OS"
as my invention .. and grant full and unfettered use to any
non-commercial interests and entities :-)
