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…
