Now that Red Hat is being IBM-fied, should I leave Fedora Kinoite?
I left Ubuntu when they sent all my dock search history to Amazon. But this time is different, should I leave Fedora considering how much it is developed by Red Hat?
I've actively defended this distribution and Red Hat for many years now and I'm deep in their technology but I want to avoid being a Devil's Advocate.
EDIT: I decided to give it some more time, I'll stay on Kinoite for now, if Red Hat's IBMfication reaches Fedora, I'll switch to Debian assuming we don't have a high quality immutable replacement by then. I've been on /r/opensuse and read rbrownsuse's posts enough times to know MicroOS KDE is NOT a good suggestion, their rebranding doesn't clean up their history.
You're viewing a single thread.
I'd say it's all up to whether your desire to distance yourself from Red Hat and it's distros is great enough to be worth the effort of backing things up and re-installing everything. If you feel better using something that isn't made by Red Hat after what's been happening, then switch. If you feel like the effort to switch from something you are already deep into using isn't quite worth it, then there's no issue in sticking with it.
@gortbrown @Raphael In all his of my years in Linux, re installing is a way of life. IMO, it’s f one doesn’t have a backup plan, then they may be doing it wrong. This is my opinion.
