Microsoft douche

RIP

  True but that holds for a lot of things. Just pick the best parts and discard the rest.

  I wish, but they’re consistently making it harder by creating tight integrations and “all or nothing” approach. Fucking hate it. When it was just systemd it was fine, but now all red hat shit is cancer-like embedded into the system and swapping individual things are harder than ever.
  
  Latest gimmick is wayland push, hello world of bazillion broken window managers and crashing apps on the only supported DEs gnome and kde.
  
  Jesus fuck sometimes I think their stuff ends up being net negative to Linux

Amazon yup!

I didn't know red hat was still around. It was a cool company fifteen years ago!

  I couldn't get through it all. Choice quotes include: two turkeys do not make an eagle, two garbage trucks slowly backing into each other.

  Being relevant as a tech company is hard - gotta spend in talent. See HP, IBM, Symantec, Yahoo, AOL, etc.
