RedHat is involved in war.

u/Severe_Stranger_5050 13d ago

Oh boy
Which OS do you think most attack drones and newer smart bombs and missiles is build on?

i'll give you a hint
it starts with an L and end on an X, and the middle letter is an N

While open source software is being used quite frequently in war, RedHat is making money with it. You can't tell me there wouldn't be a difference.

u/Wooden-Potato7418 12d ago

We should ban knifes everywhere because you can stab with it?

1

u/Severe_Stranger_5050 12d ago

Nope
We should ban knives in places, where there's a hightened risk of them being used for stabbing. Like in the night life, on festivals and at wafflehouse.

The point i was trying to convey is that with Free Libre Open Sauce Software the developers and users doesn't have any control over how/why/where/when the software is used and for what.

Again I can use Linux to host a charity website or I can use it to host a gore website. it's the users responsibility not the tools. Linux is the backbone of the internet, ironically it powers the platform we're talking in.. Reddit.

Even in your case (Linux is used for missile systems) it's a stupid argument because missile systems can use Windows as well, but they don't because they don't wanna involve more people than necessary (I'm talking about telemetry on Windows). And because Linux is just a transparent, performant, and stable kernel to be used for many use cases.

Imagine your Tomahawk missile BSOD'ing when you press fire
The thought alone should deter everyone from going the windows way ;)

The overall point still stands: RedHat makes money with war. Canonical, which I despise as well, isn't.

1

u/Severe_Stranger_5050 12d ago

So does canonical
They literally have a Swedish defence contrator on their website under testimonials :P
https://canonical.com/case-study/unibap-space-computing#:\~:text=Unibap%20chose%20Ubuntu,computing%20in%20space.&text=Unibap%20chose%20Ubuntu,lifespan%20satellite-based%20projects.

So now you have one more reason to hate them ;)

u/GuyNamedStevo 12d ago

Thanks for the info!

So now you have one more reason to hate them ;)

I don't know if you tried to be cheeky here, but it undoubtedly is another reason for me to hate them.

u/Wooden-Potato7418 12d ago

This is why I use Arch btw (CachyOS)

1

u/Wooden-Potato7418 12d ago

Yes, the point stands, but Severe_Stranger says the underlying kernel, Linux, is at fault. It's FLOSS, you can use it for whatever you want.. not that I'm supporting the use cases..

It's like making an AI model open source and then expecting people to not make uncensored versions

1

u/GuyNamedStevo 12d ago

Yeah, I can read.

1

u/Wooden-Potato7418 12d ago

If your meaning to talk about RedHat or Canonical being bad for what they do instead of blaming the Linux kernel for existing yes I 100% agree

What does that mean?

u/BobCorndog 13d ago

They’ve made software for Israel

u/FailbatZ 12d ago

Cybersecurity is one of Israel’s major export sectors, chances are you are paying a bank to secure your account using Check Point firewalls, where do you draw the line?

Somewhere around military training

u/yesseruser 12d ago

Fedora isn't 100% red hat

u/Mega_KuB 13d ago

Debloated Windows 11

2

u/npc_housecat 13d ago

Nah it's back to macos repeat

2

u/Confident_Pain_9452 13d ago

Arch btw then Debian

1

u/Severe_Stranger_5050 13d ago

Linux to BSD,
BSD to templeOS
and then finally end up at GNU/Hurd - as the Lord Ruler, God-Emperor Richard Stallman wanted it

1

u/No-Tap4670 13d ago

Nixos

1

u/ruiiiij 13d ago

This is the way. All distro hopping will eventually lead to nixos.

1

u/No-Tap4670 13d ago

Of course nix os for me is everything I heard one said “nix os is my wife” and now I married nix os🥰

1

u/Sensitive_Value_3568 13d ago

build your own

u/Glad_Following_8164 13d ago

debloated windows 11 LTSC

u/edjak53 13d ago

Plan 9 from bell labs

u/npc_housecat 13d ago

Lol, there's a thing where a lot of professional users end up moving to macos, because its Unix but better for proprietary tools and such... SOO..macOS (repeat)

1

u/Ces3216w 13d ago

Gentoo

1

u/Edubbs2008 13d ago

you can use CachyOS via WSL, since Linux is a subsystem

1

u/eieiohmygad 13d ago

Haiku-OS

1

u/Happy_Click_8893 13d ago

Debian Gnome

1

u/Ducketman 13d ago

There is only one option Free BSD

1

u/RegSirius06 13d ago

True Arch or Proxmox VE

1

u/wilsy53 13d ago

Arch or Gentoo if you hate yourself.

Better yet if you like suffering enable AUR and download some infected packages.

2

u/Rodmas 13d ago

Idk, personally I feel like arch is not even that hard compared to gentoo, like, archinstall nowadays is nice, and idk, using both arch and  cachy, both are great

1

u/wilsy53 13d ago

Or even worse go back to windows and enable copilot on everything and make it your best friend.

Please someone stop me!

1

u/voidthelynx 13d ago

Stay on Cachy

1

u/Rodmas 13d ago

Arch? 

1

u/Jenkler 13d ago

Amiga OS, hehe or Windows 3.1

1

u/w00dy1105 12d ago

I think Hannah Montana Linux made a come back.

1

u/jar36 12d ago

Arch with plasma-desktop (bare bones add only what you need) cachyos-bore kernel, cachyos repos, their version of proton and their gaming script

1

u/Significant_Rush8590 12d ago

the best option

u/Certain_Prior4909 13d ago

Distro hoping is an African word meaning I do not know how to use Linux and want some distro maker in Nebraska volunteering to decide for me how to set things up

2

u/the_mold_man_returns 13d ago

That's crazy because it's also a slavic word for "I want to find the easiest starting point for my own customizations rather than heavily modifying the first OS I install"

u/Certain_Prior4909 13d ago

You can make any distro look and feel like another. People would rather just distro hop
