Oh ye stupide fules, ye got Screwed Again by RedHat

Fortunately but painfully we learned our lesson in 2003 as RedHat first screwed everyone with Fedora, and we’ve been warning everyone away from RedHat / RHEL / Fedora ever since.

Welcome to RedHat Screw 2.0

IBM’s Red Hat Just Killed CentOS as we Know it: With CentOS Stream, Stability Goes out of the Door

Their Abrupt Anti-Youser bottom line: “…while the paid RHEL users will enjoy the well-tested stable server, community members will have no option other than using a not-so-stable rolling release distribution. …  For the moment, despite all the assurances, it looks like CentOS is becoming the beta of RHEL future releases. … The worst part is that Red Hat and CentOS didn’t bother to take users into confidence. At least they could have made these changes with CentOS 9. This sudden ending of CentOS 8 is a bad move. Imagine the situation where sysadmin(s) put effort to migrate from CentOS 7 to 8, only to realize that its support is ending 8 years earlier. …leaving…users in trouble like this is grossly irresponsible.

CentOS Linux is dead—and Red Hat says Stream is “not a replacement”

LOL.  Maybe this time around, you too will stop trusting (and investing in) profit-only-driven companies that do not put tech and morality first, above money and all other motives.
