I am so tired of all the random shit that only RedHat does because RedHat had a minor issue with something that they blew completely out of the water and decided to fix by just making a brand new thing that only they use, and it's kinda compatible with whatever it replaced, but no, not in these hundred different specific ways that will definitely come up every time you need it to do something, but will work just long enough to make you think whatever you're doing might be feasible.
German-based SUSE just extended long-term support for Linux Enterprise 15 until July 2037. […] 13 years from now […] that’s […] 19 years after 2018, which is when Linux Enterprise 15 was first released.
A lot of companies have been making it a goal to move away from Oracle as a whole. The Java enterprise licensing thing from a few years back rubbed every company in the world the wrong way, their rep is permanently trashed.
The ongoing java licensing thing. They just changed their licensing terms to where you have to license every computer in your company if 1 computer needs java. And they are going around shaking down companies who are unknowingly using java.
I cannot speak for smaller firms because we only deal with enterprise level projects. What we have seen and continue to see is that if the demands of the project are light enough to run on the cloud, then the company will do that (Azure is kicking everyone's ass in sales BTW). Anyone else, which is the majority or pur clients (and they don't like hearing it) are stuck with Oracle. Sure, you can off-load a lot of functionality to other things, but for RDBMS you are stuck with the big red ⭕.
