How do we stop Red Hat?

>>57987218
Make a competitor business. Is almost the year of the linux desktop and tech support will get the bucks, there is money to be made in the service oriented business model.

>>57987218
Switch to CentOS

>>57988431

>>57988924
RedHat put some employees to oversee its development. Literal cucks, is a sad fact.

Why would I want to stop Red Hat? The amount of investment it puts into Linux is huge.

>>57988411
We tried that. We got something even worse, Canonical.

>>57989048
>We tried that
No, you didn't. You did nothing.

Redhat is not your enemy, not by a long shot. Are you aware of a little company called Oracle?

>>57989058
>I know he meant "we" in a general, collective sense, but I'll deliberately misinterpret it
good job

>>57989084
No, sorry, it's still nonsense. There's no collective or general sense here. You're framing you're complaint as if you could ever have any meaningful influence on how someone else spends their money. If you feel Canonical is so bad you better start pulling yourself up by your bootstraps and putting millions of dollars into your own Linux enterprise that you can take in the direction you want, just like Shuttleworth did.

As in one of the biggest contributors to the Linux kernel? Um, why?

>>57989159
because of le anti-unix le systemd gnome conspiracy

They're more friendly than Canonical desu. You don't need to give up your code's copyright.

>>57991074
Lol

>>57987218
A more important question is: there is a multi billion dollar company involved in Linux kernel development, how are they still not being able to convince manufacturers to develop acceptable drivers?

>>57991296
Linux is for servers, baka. Drivers aren't a real issue.

>>57991461
But what if you need drivers for the servers?

>>57988431
you sick fuck

i applied for a job at redhat a couple of years ago.

They only focus on enterprise shit, don't give a fuck about desktop users.

they do quite a bit of work for the kernel, and such. Can't really say I'm a huge fan of them, but I can't say too much bad about them either.

That explains why Gnome is such a piece of shit.

Is there any proof that systemd is a backdoor? Surely, in open source software, somebody would find something.

>>57991916
doubt it, but then again the debian 4 = guaranteed random should have been caught a few years ago.

shellshock was scary, but not for the reasons everyone was shitting a brick over. Why the fuck are people running local bash commands from php/web facing shit?

That's because they oversee CentOS you dumbfuck

>>57989027
They unleashed the systemd cancer upon the world.

>>57991916
It is inauditable in the first place. So, good luck with that.

>>57992260
CentOS is literally Red Hat Enterprise Linux without the Red Hat branding and support.

>>57993266
Learn C and it will be "auditable". Every modern kernel have a giant codebase so your logic is inane.

>>57994763
Dumb fuck, they change 20k lines of code everyday. Good luck to audit everything.

Well, two months ago somebody found a big vulnerability. They immidiately fixed it, but do we know how many "accidental" vulnerabilities/exploits exist in SystemD?

Most people think you could never introduce a backdoor in open source software. But the flaw in that logic is that they don't have to call it backdoor. You won't find a function "NSA_backdoor()". But if you add some vulnerabilities you already have what goverments call "Plausible Deniability".

"Whoops, a bug, damn, how could we miss this.."

I would also think that they would not use an exploit for some bring meta data fishing, maybe it's there for some special occasions. But who knows?

>>57994763
>what is obfuscated code

>>57995228

Wow, just googled "underhanded C".
Looks pretty cool.

How do you learn such stuff?

>>57987218
why do you want to stop Red Hat? i am glad they are proving Linux is a profitable platform, the only thing i dont like is systemD, but there are plenty of non-systemd distros to fill that niche

>>57987218
Thats all we use with our systems(military)

The thing is, as the main devs are RedHat employees, they can do serious shit with systemD.

And if they only care about servers, imagine if they somehow have a partnership with Microsoft to let Windows rule over desktops while RHEL dominates servers. Is nothing crazy knowing Microsoft history.

remove the anti-unix shit and systemd is actually a pretty fucking good init system
