A good thing in general, maybe this will help improve compatibility with old stuff and its old bugs, cause it'll be simpler to emulate those bugs with cleaner code.

BTW, has anyone managed to run Rogue Squadron 3D under Wine? I'm just interested, I'm having that menu input bug not allowing to do anything.

FVWM.

Same as any ports system. Though yes, for Linux the alternatives may seem less convenient like Portage or less extensive like Pkgsrc.

So sad for Sun. Just touching their products as they were before getting eaten by Oracle is an amazing experience.

Also very nice artistic language in visual design, I know this is not the most important thing.

I mean, RH became dominant by not initially being a bag of dicks.

So if SUSE becomes the main enterprise vendor (to more precisely address RH's role, one can say "root enterprise vendor"), then its enshittification is just a matter of time.

Other than that, I like Tumbleweed, it just works, and, unlike Fedora, without bullshit.

Still the whole corporate atmosphere makes me wary. SUSE is good, we just shouldn't put all our eggs into one basket (and should fix that with RH).

I just listen to the "Enclave Sublevel" track (more rarely others) from KotOR II OST, or sometimes "Bastila Shan" track (more rarely others) from KotOR OST, or "Polyhedrons" track (same) from Disco Elysium OST, or theme 2 (same) from Ascendancy OST,

For a company building bloody airplanes - yes, I totally agree.

I'd expect it to be about the same, with 737 MAX, yes, on one side and too many examples on the other.

"Would" happen? That's literally what initially happened. They just hoped for something impossible.

From what I can tell, the rebuilders are not adding any kind of value to the situation.

They are adding popularity. Enterprise is slow to change in some ways, but I can totally see the trend of moving to Debian. RH seems to have forgotten their own history and how they've started with one Red Hat Linux, with paid support for those who wanted it, and that's what gave them the popularity to be profitable.

They don’t seem to want to artificially increase the difficulty of rebuilding RHEL sources, just to stop actively spending money making it easier when that work doesn’t return any money for the effort. Which is… Totally fair.

They are, in fact, going to reduce their revenue. Which is the main criterion for a business, no?

I mean, just like humans wither and die with time, so do companies.

Nobody and nothing living forever is one of the reasons centralization is bad. But humans sadly like to flock.

RH is approaching the end of its life cycle. First they were hackers. Then they became a useful and aspiring business. Then RPM-based distributions were what made Linux not marginal anymore (though probably this also has something to do with Mandrake's success). Then they became something in the center of things, connected to everything happening with Linux and other Unix-like systems (at least on desktop). Then they realized that and started milking that slowly. Then they became arrogant.

No, it's a different OS not intended as an alternative to Windows in any other sense that it's a desktop OS too.

But it won't be hard if you start with something common, like openSUSE or Debian.
