@graste nodds in agreement
@ubuntu, @opensuse , #SLED, #RHEL WS, @fedora and #OracleLinux have 0 excuses for neglecting #accessibility.
And yes, they need to do better because #Apple's #macOS does so from the start!

I'm not an active sysadmin anymore, but I regularly get sysadmin questions. One is, how to upgrade #RHEL or compatible systems in-place.
#Elevate, an @almalinux project just solves this problem:
https://almalinux.org/elevate/
@centos, @rockylinux and #OracleLinux are also supported.
@admin @marquito Ganz ehrlich, wer sich #Windows gibt ist cybermasochistisch, denn unter jesem halbwegs kompetenten System/Distro läuft das einfach.
Ich glabe mit #MicrosoftOffice ist es so wie mit #AdobeAcrobat: Nur die Leute nutzen es die glauben es gäbe nix anderes / besseres!
@killyourfm #Funfact: Basically any #Linux I know (okay, except #SLES / #SLED, #RHEL and #OracleLinux with a subscription) allow users to install their system on an external drive.
Still, I do welcome options that make it even easier...
#RHEL 9.5 debuts alongside #AlmaLinux, Rocky, and #Oracle updates
#RedHat released version 9.5 of its flagship #Linux distribution. It was followed five days later by AlmaLinux 9.5 "Teal Serval." The following day, #RockyLinux 9.5 followed, with the shortest set of release notes of the trio. Also on November 19, Rocky's partner in the #OpenELA group, Oracle, put out #OracleLinux 9 Update 5. As is normal for RHELatives, they all share much the same list of new features.

@jakob_thoboell @DigitalWriter@bildung.social @jdohrmann insbesondere passt der Vergleich weil IT nicht wie kommerzielle zivile Luftfahrt ist und Piloten dort nur auf nachweislich trainierten Jets eingesetzt werden dürfen...
The philosophical differences between keeping things updated everywhere and long term supported ”stability” bit me yesterday when #Ansible failed to run #DNF on a #RHEL 8 compatible #OracleLinux server when executed from my #macOS laptop with current software versions installed. Looks like DNF gets executed with #Python3.6 no matter which other versions are installed. Is there any workaround that doesn’t involve downgrading or keeping an old environment around? #DevOps #Automation
@Saupreiss Klar, nur bietet #Microsoft nichtmals ansatzweise die Menge an #Support und #Assurance an die #Linux Distros wie #RHEL (Workstation), #SLES / #SLED, #UbuntuLTS und #OracleLinux abmnbieten obwohl #Windows und besonders #WindowsServer deutlich teurer durchzulizensieren ist.
Außerdem ist das komplette "#Antimalware" / "#Antivirus" - Business doch einfach nur #Scareware die auf kongnitive Dissonanz abzielt weil Leute die #WindowsDefender misstrauen nicht gleich die #Govware namens Windows mit enstorgen!

@mac @Rusty @ubuntu that depends heavily on the used applications.
I've seen #Solaris and #OracleLinux in #ScientificComputing and #CriticalInfrastruxture, alongside #RedHat in #Finance and #Engineering.
#Apple's #macOS is just the primary supported Platform for most #CCSS in #CreativeWork made by #Adobe, #BlackmagicDesign as well as #AVID and #Steinberg.
My favorite for the average "#TechIlliterate" Office use is #UbuntuLTS and for #Gaming it's #pop_os...

@lonjil @landley maybe #Google as a Corporation doesn't beg for money whilst offering millions in paychecks?
Granted, they finance it with their #Adware aka. #Browser and selling off users' data being member if the #PRISM program which AFAIK is still operational and none of the #GAFAMs ever apologized for!
But maybe that's quite hyperbolic from my POV...
What is needed however is real competition that is cross-platform and just works.
Whether one uses #Gecko or #WebKit or whatever is kinda irrelevant.
( I can also use #LynxBrowser but we can all agree that none of the "#TechIlliterates" and "#Normies" would accept that level of feature regression nowadays!)
Google may have droppted their "#DontBeEvil" #Canary but at least Google's #FLOSS-licensed code is 'salvageable' in the worst-case scenario just like #OpenSolaris's & #OpenOffice's code got salvaged into the #illumos and #LibreOffice projects respectably when #Oracle was allowed to buy #Sun and went full "asshole mode" on #OpenSource projects (which is why I don't trust #OracleLinux and won't use it!)...

Nothing seems to be stopping the #RHEL clones from continuing to release

@jwildeboer @SUSE @ubuntu @opensuse @SolarisDiaspora I think "Just clone #RHEL!" is kinda bad and unsustainable as a business.
Killing #CentOS and barring #OracleLinux was more of "glock-leg" / "shooting themselves in the foot" of #RedHat and IMHO it should get RHEL to decline in adoption similar to #grsecurity when they #paywalled access to their #SourceCode.
I think it's a bad move even tho no #GPL version demands said sourcecode to be publicly accessible to everyone.

Linux forklore everywhere
In the last episode I talked about a change Red Hat is making, specifically not releasing RHEL sources like they used to. There are some nuances to that, so I would not have expected a careful take from Red Hat’s competitors, but what Oracle did was definitely surprisingly low.
When I see or hear of a good idea, I make a note in my Apple Notes and drag it out when the time comes. So with this, I present the K8 bookclub, hosted at https://www.santana.dev/book-club. The Kubernetes Book Club is a community group that discusses books about Cloud Native
Go have at it.
Give a listen to “For the long run” with Jonathan Levitt. He’s a runner, cyclist and podcast host from Boston, MA. This podcast is exploring the why behind what keeps runners running long, strong, and motivated. Jonathan is super-connected in the field and I have listened to some great conversations, which is one of the podcast formats that I wish I could do some of, so why don’t you come and be my guest?
