Red Hat openly supports war crimes, begins scrubbing it off their site when it gains attention (wikis.world)

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.

It's a fuckin shame because Fedora is genuinely the most stable and functional distro I've used since moving to Linux. It feels like a polished product.

Then again, it feels like a product from an American corporate machine that gets away with it because they're marginally better than their competitiors (see: Valve Inc. and Steam).

And then what? we have Ubuntu derivatives (another US state asset). Debian is potentially close to a stable user distro that isn't as deeply entrenched in the imperial core. But then surely any distro is under the thumb of the fascists? Linux is de facto property of Intel, Cisco, IBM, Oracle, and a bunch of other CIA fronts.

Not to shit on boycotting Redhat or Fedora, but I just wonder how many steps of separation it is from Linux and its own evils.

Yeah I had to make a burner laptop for travel a while back and was really surprised with how slick and luser-proof their distro was. Had like way better mixed DPI support and a bunch of other conveniences I didn't think were solved at the time.

I reckon OpenSuse might be the next best thing to Fedora in this regard, but I've only used it a little bit and don't know enough to whole heartedly recommend it. I just have found Suse had also managed to create that slick professional experience and also streamlined a lot of the best "new shit" into a distro that felt like it should meet the expectations of eg a Mac user or a corporate Windows user (with some training.)
