  • I know this is off topic, but nobody seems to talk about SUSE Linux Enterprise. The openSUSE Leap distribution is based off of (and 100% binary identical to) SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.

  • I'm surprised nobody has really gotten on RedHat's case for pulling a Microsoft on CentOS. Support, Integrate, Obsolete, it's literally Microsoft's internal tagline for handling competition.

  • Which version of red hat should I download? X86?

  • You help connect my thoughts, a good teacher

  • The table shown in this video isn't the best, like with Rocky Linux, there are some concerning things with answers in the interviews on YT, such as being a public benefit corporation, and there's reasons for that. He's using a public benefit corporation to protect Rocky Linux and for the extra sponsors, that's because they're competitors.

  • You have my subs, RHEL make sense if you a big company running multiple tons of servers in datacenter or even middle size company having own infrastructure.

  • Somebody know how to Install i3wm on almalinux 8/9?

  • Can someone actually explain to a dumb guy like me why Rocky Linux is slower? According to this 6:40

  • Why is opensuse not included? Thought it was based on red hat.

  • im basically completely new to linux here, i used mint for a few months one time and that one my first taste of linux, I loved the freedom from microsoft trackers and forced software and didn't mind moving to other software alternatives but i eventuallygave in and switched back to windows after some shortcomings for my personal use. there was no way to use autodesk software on that distro, im now finding out about other distros and someone told me to look up red had ditros. im confused on what would be good to use as a new user who moslty does your general media consumption but also uses maya for content creation. can anyone tell me whats the most user freindly distro that also supports maya? EDIT: Ive been using Fedora for a few days now and officially uninstalled windows form my laptop. I do want to figure how how to do passthrough with vms tho mostly because i want to play VR games again and i can't do that with my wmr headset (reverb G2)

  • Aside from support, one of the big draws of RHEL is that they have the paid staff to performance tune it for common workstation and server hardware. It's not of major concern to most small server needs, but I am very curious how many RHEL performance optimizations make it into the the clones, or even upstream. Especially if somebody's hobby program requires all of the performance it can get.
    I haven't seen a huge gain in every category vs some other community distros like Deb11, but RHEL does seem to edge them out in most categories while having major speed gains in a handful of tasks.(eg AES cryptography.)

  • Using vzlinux and oracle linux here, everything works well

  • Just a perspective. I was glad to see an ecosystem form downstream of RHEL. In fact I like that CentOS Stream is upstream of RHEL now. It will have to be seen with version 10 but I like the idea of RHEL being downstream of CentOS Stream better than Fedora. I love Fedora but it is the bleeding edge and like the idea of CentOS stream being directly downstream from that and then hardened there and making it's way into RHEL… and let the clones downstream from that follow. We'll have to see how this works in practice of course.

  • I STILL can't get over how Red Hat gave CentOS 8 LESS SUPPORT THAN 7. That makes me never want to use RHEL-based distros… and combined with the Fedora codecs issue… Yeah, Arch for me.

  • I was wondering if a company not even related to IT can use things like Linux, OnlyOffice etc fully legally. Somebody maybe has an experience? Recently in one shop I saw Ubuntu on PC so I guess it has to work somehow

  • You and I know that Rocky Linux is named after one of the CentOS founders, but to the average person, the word "rocky" either means "unstable" or "punch-drunk boxer". Not great if you have to specify the OS name in a hosting bid!

    I think AlmaLinux is probably the best RHEL clone to pick – I don't like CentOS Stream because it's a permanent beta for RHEL and therefore less desirable than RHEL or its downstream clones.
