    rofl no. How dumb. Just… purely dumb. Do you think Red Hat was the first and only distro? Do you not know the ENTIRE HISTORY of Linux? Genuinely, you suck.

      You must be too young to remember when Red Hat was the darling of Linux and OSS, about 25 years ago. They proved that you could make a profit selling and supporting FOSS, and that was pretty big at the time. Since then they are a top contributor to the Linux kernel and to the OS as a whole.

      But you’re kinda right, my first distro was RedHat around 1998… No idea why I didn’t end up with Slackware or Debian. After that it was Mandrake, but I don’t think anyone wants to talk about that…

        lol yes, make money selling free software… How … innovative… You must enjoy the taste of dick in the morning.

        Selling out, regardless of “darling” status, is beyond a bitch move.

      I don’t think that’s a productive method of discussion. Why attack them as a person instead of pointing out the aspects of history you think contradict them?

      In my opinion, RHEL did play an important part in enterprise adoption of Linux, although I think they’re heavily overplaying that
