    It will force a panic registration from people who are using RHEL compatible tools without subscriptions. But in the long term it will prevent the semi-admins from entering the world of redhat. I believe that they exchanged long term goals against immediate profit.

    A rhel subscription for a server is $800, you can’t do anything with the $350 subscription since it’s for physical machine only.

    Dunno, there is probably an MBA with a big plan behind it, with “a focus on user experience and added value for our customers” yada yada. Anyway it doesn’t feel like home anymore.

    How is it on the debian side? Who is running debian servers here?

        It’s like a big shake up of all our habits. First banning twitter, then the move from reddit to fediverse, then picking better news sources, then move from rhel to debian. Honestly I’m thinking more and more about how to integrate the tools from the fediverse to the IT and the work environment.
