RIP but on the other hand maybe shit like systemd journalctl and other cancer like crap will cease to exist as well and we’ll be back to unix modularity?
Why do you call systemd cancer?
because redhat stuff constantly grows its dependencies and isn’t interoperable with anything else. have you recently checked the list of things it does nowadays?
Detailed analysis here: http://www.platformonomics.com/2019/07/a-very-cold-take-on-ibm-red-hat-and-their-hybrid-cloud-hyperbole/ tldr: no strategic / long-term benefits
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.
I didn't know red hat was still around. It was a cool company fifteen years ago!
