We have seen a ton of testing and no reported errors, so we are releasing our #Zenbleed patches tomorrow at 7am eastern US time. Get the details and join the conversation here: https://almalinux.discourse.group/t/zenbleed-patch-release-7am-eastern-us-time-7-27-23/2802 #linux

I'm trying out all the microblogging alternatives and Mastodon deserves way more credit than it gets for having a lot of great people pleasers already baked in: Editable messages, the Tweetdeck-like advanced web interface, a chronological feed.

I had already taken a superficial look at macOS, a year ago, but now, I spent 30 days with it, as my main OS, on an M1 MacBook Pro.

And boy am I glad this is over, and glad to be back on #Linux!

Here are my conclusions about the hardware, the software, and the general experience of using a Mac as a Linux user:

And now I use LMDE btw. Didn't have much luck with vanilla Debian.
LMDE though, the distrohopping went so smooth, I'm really impressed. Maybe I'm a weirdo who wants to be a "Linux normie" and don't want to do anything manually? 🤔 😂

Holy hell, being able to declarative configure Syncthing in #nixos is game changing for me. I never used to use syncthing because it always peeved me that I had to reset up all the folders.

Just got my first request at work to add @opensuse Leap to our supported internal OS images.

Marco and I are live tonight! We're going to put Universal Blue on an M2 mac. Let's see if we can make it work!

A major hindrance to RHEL adoption isn't even the price as much as the hassle. Having to do a requisition at all and then having to fight with RHSM are non-trivial. Even in environments where I have plenty of RHEL seats, I often will still deploy AlmaLinux just to not have to deal with the extra overhead of RHSM over the lifecycle of the instance.

It's always an honor when someone speaks at a conference about my software.

My most recent #castiron #cooking is freshly seasoned and ready to bake some cornbread for the whole family!

I don't believe IBM directly directed Red Hat to do this with RHEL. There's no evidence of that. However, when IBM bought Red Hat, there was some hope that IBM would culturally become more like Red Hat, but instead the opposite appears to be happening. Red Hat appears to rather be culturally embracing the slowly dying star of IBM, mostly of its own volition.

You can be mad about #RedHat but the truth is we do NOT have a sustainable model for #FOSS under #Capitalism

... and they're going to continue to abuse our efforts and eat our lunch until we do.

Re: the unfolding Red Hat own goal drama.

I never quite figured out why people used RHEL over Debian for non-corporate work in the first place.

Things with #Calckey have certainly quieted down 🤔
I’m still seeing new migrations to Calckey, but not hearing as much buzz lately. Perhaps leveling off?
Does anyone know when the big name change happens?

Nothing like booting a live #AlmaLinux DVD image to a server to fixed the botched #RHEL install.

Another #legal question.

Let's say I take a piece of (GPL) software and redistribute it but restrict its further redistribution with a secondary license.

Since I have broken the terms of the original license does that mean the people to whom I have distributed it do not have properly licensed software (since my distribution rights are granted by the license I have broken)?

Could #RHEL's _users_ actually be sued for using unlicensed software?

@geerlingguy did a great job here in expressing what's going on with #RedHat and #Linux right now from an #opensource contributor perspective.

I'm not saying #RedHat isn't destroying what reputation it had among #Linux geeks, but restricting #RHEL source to thwart clones is very likely a good short-term (and potentially long-term) decision in terms of revenue.

There's nothing preventing them from changing this policy in the future if it doesn't work out for them.

Redhat being shady again.

Et Tu, Red Hat?
