Is Solaris even still a thing anyone wants?
No
Stop 😭 I work in the Solaris kernel
What a stupid question. OCI uses Oracle Linux, which is a close and compatible cousin to RHEL. Duh.
K. The point of my question was “why make your own Linux distribution for cloud when you could make a new distribution with an OS you already own”
Because Solaris is coMpletely outdated and sucks, and Oracle Linux is by far the lesser of the two Oracle OS evils.
When did OP think the Oracle Linux and Solaris projects came to be?
Lol Solaris is dead
