I think I was pretty clear with what I was asking in this thread:

“Is anyone here using an enterprise Linux distro?”

Can I assume you’re not actually running an enterprise distro?

I mean, me neither, yet, but:

• Both SUSE and Red Hat have had a minor release this year, with their software being less out of date than Debian
• I feel like enterprise distros seem to be very different in the areas where differences between distros actually matter: Package management (which can be fine-tuned a lot more with application streams, security updates, package modules, etc.) and complete, up-to-date documentation (which is the thing most people miss in Linux).

I was really looking for real world experience, not a re-hashing of unvalidated opinions that have been around for >10 years (when they might have actually been true).

No one dared speak up against it, cause that isn’t a “growth mindset”.

Scaling capacity up and down in real time should be Microsoft’s core business now.

Why hand out bug fixes for free when you can charge full price once more instead?

From the point of view of a customer, the exact failure method is irrelevant.
Microsoft took a lot of money and wasn’t able to deliver what was promised in exchange.

When your game is a streaming service, you better put some cloud experts on the dev team.

Probably the number one cause of borked Linux systems - trying to “de-bloat”,

These companies are abbreviating generative AI (like Chat GPT) as “gen AI” now.
Even though that’s always meant general AI (actual intelligence).

No, they aren’t to blame, but it makes “light” distros pointless.

right. This is Weston (same distro):

Arch, cause I set it up to my liking once out of curiosity when I was procrastinating, wrote a script that automates https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/System_maintenance and now am too lazy to switch to something else.
Especially since maintenance involves typing Update.sh once a week or so, and nothing else.

The idea behind Linux is to create an operating system anyone can use in any way they want.
That includes the North Korean government using it to spy on their people.

Let’s make this a game. Click on it, then you have to install that on bare metal and daily it for a month.

Gentoo still exists. Damn Small was dead for a decade but has risen again recently. Puppy is alive and well. Knoppix is still alive, but the last downloadable release is almost 4 years old.

It was dead for a long time, was replaced in spirit by Puppy Linux, and only recently was reactivated.

Yes, of course. They can hardly use an OS that phones home to the US.

Rebecca Black OS.
It is the only Linux distro to date built around Weston, using Wayland’s full capability:

It doesn’t include any Rebecca Black theming or is related to her in any way.
It’s just called that cause the dev is a fan of hers.

Also, Gnome or KDE?
