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.

    IBM is giving us(tge FOSS and Linux world) technical advancements and money but is taking away the Freedom part more and more.

    They are locking in linux and the ecosystem according to their own business needs. Gnome, systemd, or most other redhat products, you can see how inconpatible they are with other software and go their own way, which affects the whole Linux world.

    I personally really dislike redhat and IBM. Specially IBM itself is an absolute governmental piece of shit with a history not much better than microsoft and facebook.
