petition for fill in the blank to support Debian.
Thoughts?
I was once an RHCE for a large Australian company. Even started down the path of RHCA. Before, at the time, and ever since I have been a Debian user at home/privately. RH have some interesting and useful tools but the entire suite never quite sat right with me.
This whole thing proved NOT TO SUPPORT / USE any Corporate backed distro / resources henceforth. Ultimately you will be used as Guinea pig for years and then they will pull the plug one day leaving the whole community to either (70%) purchase their product or adapt (and learn) new OS.
I'm glad I'm with Debian since last 15 years, started off with Slackware but ever since for servers, I have been with Debian.
I just also pray and wish the evil eyes do not plague the Debian world.
I saw an article about it on Ars Technica this morning, CentOS Linux is dead—and Red Hat says Stream is “not a replacement”
https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/12/centos-shifts-from-red-hat-unbranded-to-red-hat-beta/
If you scroll down the article, you will see further discussion, "A possible rebirth as Rocky Linux"
When I was looking for the link to the article so I could post it here, I found a later article, Where do I go now that CentOS Linux is gone? Check our list:
https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/12/centos-linux-is-gone-but-its-refugees-have-alternatives/
I use both CentOS (Red Hat) and Debian/Ubuntu because they have different approaches to Linux distros, especially package management, and I wanted to learn both.
I am not sure it is time to conclude that Debian and its derivatives "win", but it smells like that. I wonder what others think.
They shouldn't have promised 2029 maintenance.
Quote on legacy code:
The stallion coder doesn't deal with legacy code. I rewrite all of them every year.
Dependants? It's your problem. I gave you 30-day notice on deprecations, and then it's removed. You are supposed to rewrite dependant code every year, too.
What happened to Scientific Linux? Haven't heard that project mentioned in some time.
True, I EOL'd all of OpenVZ.
