Incredible, someone at Red Hat is apparently reading my toots and slowly scrubbing their website of references to their “compressing the kill cycle” project. Here’s the file they don’t want you to read: web.archive.org/web/20260402… p.s. if you work at Red Hat and have inside info on what’s going on, my Signal is “@legoktm.12345” - happy to protect you.
Disgusting. For those unaware, IBM has acquired Red Hat a few years back (they are heavily involved in Linux development and related technologies). “Technology is apolitical” bros can bite me.
Is there anything else that has smooth installation, vanilla GNOME, and a good balance of stability and updates? I stopped distro hopping after I found Fedora because it was perfect for me
As far as traditional style distros, I have always been impressed with OpenSuse Tumbleweed when I’ve needed like polished “corporate ready” distro.
They build and maintain the distros and build tools etc. In particular OpenSuse was the first distro I used that offered to set up BTRFS filesystem snapshots and rollback support as part of the GUI installer. A lot of corpo / consultancy money goes into keeping it competitive and fairly slick. Same as Redhat really.
Thanks, I’ll check it out.
Use Ubuntu or stay on Mint. (really, they are fine, I have been around long enough for when the hyped distro for new users was Mint instead of Ubuntu). No one hypes the stuff that works like OpenSUSE (well, someone mentioned it to you, think it’s a good distro but they are EU Red Hat).
