OFC, one does always buy into an #Ecosystem...
I think #Canonical should not #hamfist #Snap too hard and instead work towards a safe alliance to enshure portability of #Linux applications across Distros to replace the #RedHat dominance and avoid a #Duopoly if not #Tripoly for their own sake.
Which reminds me that @EU_Commission not calling out #RHEL and #Autodesk as #Market #Gatekeepers shows that those decisionmakers know shit about #tech.
Earlier today at #almalinux we patched CVE-2023-38403 in iperf3 and released it prior to anyone else in the EL-ecosystem. We promptly submitted PRs with #centos and #fedora.
A lot was learned during this process so we can nail down the processes of doing our own patches while contributing upstream and ultimately deliver on our promises from https://almalinux.org/blog/future-of-almalinux/

Dear Red Hat... featuring Jeff Geerling (Changelog & Friends #7)
Red Hatβs decision to lock down RHEL sources behind a subscription paywall was met with much ire and opened opportunity for Oracle to get a smack in and SUSE to announce a fork with $10 million behind it.Changelog
Iβve used #Fedora for years, absolutely love that distro. This, coupled with #RedHatβs latest shenanigans are why Iβve distro-hopped for the first time in a long timeβ¦Iβm only community-run distros from now on. #ArchLinux for desktop and gaming, #Debian for servers.
To some itβs not a big deal, and I wonβt fault them for using whatever they want. And thereβs a ton of great people doing great things with Fedora but Red Hat seems to be going out of their way to destroy goodwill.
very good write up by the @conservancy and great commentary from Brodie as always.
I believe what #RedHat is doing is not against the #GPL or #FreeSoftware. For me, what's more concerning is their communication in which they position themselves as "fully committed to open source", while constantly egging on one of the four pillars of software freedom.
#Redhat has determined that they see no value in a downstream rebuilder of #rhel #linux https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/red-hats-commitment-open-source-response-gitcentosorg-changes
Given that, as the #MicroMirror team @warthog9 and I have concerns in supporting RHEL's upstream development branch in a community manner. We have removed Centos-stream from the eight Micro Mirror nodes as well as our main mirror.fcix.net mirror which were hosting that project, explicitly over these concerns.
The MicroMirror project is run, literally, as a hobby and a public benefit. No one on the team is paid for this effort, and in fact costs us money (though we actively appreciate and love the support we get, we still throw our own skin into this game too!). It's hard to be a part of Redhat's community when they seemingly take umbrage with our support, so from our perspective Redhat needs to either embrace the community as we have always wanted and expected from them, or until such time as they do they should consider getting into the Linux mirror business for their development branch of RHEL.
