They were bought by IBM a few years back, but even aside from that they’re a corporation and they care about making money above all else.

It looks like Red Hat is doing its damnedest to consolidate as much power for themselves within the Linux ecosystem.

I don’t think the incessant Fedora shilling is unrelated.

It seems like there isn’t much criticism of the company or their tactics, and I’m curious if any of you think that should change.

    What happened to the Internet? Reasonable people everywhere.

    Yes, I think that the skepticism towards systemd was deserved even if we have to acknowledge that it also brought improvements in some areas.

    I also concede that actively supporting a distro like Debian is important for the role they play in the ecosystem, regardless of the software overlap with other distros.

    I too was oversimplifying obviously.

    Thank you for the reply.
