@wave_walnut Thanks, the recap was important to understand what happened so far. As it seems, the writing was on the wall. Now I understand why so many was against Red Hat, similar to how they were against Canonical (but for other reasons).

In the past, I've got upvotes for dissing Canonical. The funny thing is that I'd get downvotes instead if I replace Canonical with Ubuntu.
I'm pretty happy with my Tumbleweed installation, and I don't think I'll be leaving anytime soon.
Right? Like it or not, we live in a society dominated by money. A very small number of Linux distributions have found a way to sustainably produce an excellent product. That's a good thing. The alternatives are either burnout or insecurity.
And let's not forget that a lot of contributions to Linux have come from Red Hat and other companies.
What the fuck is happening with RedHat? Can someone explainlikeimfive?
RedHat is only going to provide source code to their paying customers. This is legally compliant with the GPL. This has made a lot of people mad because there are a lot of distros that are essentially copy/pasted Redhat code that people use.
