Redhat goes CLOSED SOURCE?
This is a MAJOR development with Redhat NO LONGER giving public access to the base RHEL source code.

UPDATE: YOU CAN NOT USE DEV ACCOUNT FOR UPDATING – Alma's update: https://almalinux.org/blog/impact-of-rhel-changes/ Rocky Update: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/r.24fab14385c0aa2db6fa7340a8b2aae7 – TLDR – NOT GOOD!
The official statement from redhat was "CentOS Stream will now be the sole repository for public @RHEL-related source code releases. Read more about this change. https://red.ht/3XoUOYP"
We will have to wait and see how this plays out, but I imagine they want to make it very hard for RHEL 1:1 Distros like Alma, Rocky and Oracle.
In Europe debian is far far more used than redhat, I've worked almost 100% on debian servers, including huge companies ones.
Boohoo waah.
Big thanks for this hosting guide! Ive skilled Bluehost and DreamHost, however Cloudways with TST20 couppon is the true wallet-saver.
As long as they don’t mess with my fedora they can do whatever to RHEL even if I don’t agree with it
It is surprising that Red Hat wants to be paid for giving patches and Bug Fixes to corporate customers??????
so that's what this is– Linux is dead? I shouldn't even switch to Linux?
Linux is trusted BECAUSE it is open source. Every other closed source big tech company has totally screwed its users. Big tech can't be trusted.
What is gonna happen to Fedora?
This is click bait. Too many people are misrepresenting what Red Hat did. They are approaching it different from historical precedence but I don't think it's inconsistent with the goals of open source nor violating licensing. The code is all available. Red Hat pushes changes upstream anyway so all the code contributions for the community are still there and the RHEL packaging/ QA specific ro their subscriber products shouldn't be something competitors try to claim without contributing back which is what was happening. Now those orgs have to either contribute more to the process or they get the code without trying to claim the non-code certifications Red Hat does.
Although I'm new to Linux, Ive learned enough to understand whats going with this topic. And its kind ironic that anyone in the business world would complain about a business based distro being closed and making you pay for use. You would think business people would understand the most right lol. How about you give me free service and product from what ever business you operate. I will never have a problem with closed source OS, because I simply understand that everything isn't free in this world. And really it doesn't need to be. If the Linux community is mad for some reason, go make a different business distro for Linux and let it be open source and free lol. Isn't it that simple?
With so much of linux code being licensed as open source how can they get away with that?
Yeah I heard about that. I'm both a Desktop Support Tech and Linux Admin all in one as we still deep in the Red Hat eco system but I'm starting to see some organizations uses Ubuntu. There even a certification exam for Ubuntu.
fortunatelly I quit red hat, they are crazy
Closed source? Everything is available upstream. Everything Red Hat modifies and distributes is available. They're just not making it as easy to get the entire collection of software in the exact same configuration as RHEL unless you're a RHEL customer. That's it. But nothing's closed source that wasn't before. They're contributing back the same as always, more than every other vendor combined, since probably 20 years ago.
IBM doesn't give a shit about the open source ecosystem. It's only focused on The next financial quarter so it can gain a short term bump on the Dow & appease shareholders. IBM has been completely devoid of innovation or competent mgt for decades and had been coasting on its brand. That it is systematically destroying RH is irrelevant to the bean counters.
it’s FCSS
Almalinux is a mess. Had it on my server. Bugs over bugs. Switched to Ubuntu 22.04 with Plesk and it works flawless.

The ending…fitting tech response I expected. 😂
I know a few things: this loses confidence, trust or faith for them to make this move among the consumers. It also changes or alters the game of GPU/GPL or open source as a whole in the industry in general. It's a shame!
There are better ways than this to change your product, especially your main one. I'd like to think that their internal customers threw a fit over this both from a personal and business standpoint. We contributed or helped that business and I believe that shareholders/IBM are going to have a lot of say about this unexpected or unpopular move.
Businesses trading on the back of others without paying back are just as bad as redhat for going behind a paywall.
Like when alibaba demanded an open source project with two guys maintaining it fix a bug, despite being a multibillion dollar company with hundreds of developers working for them.
