How do you think Redhat got in the door? People like me and my friends way back in the day staying late and porting our product over on our own time and convincing management to make it an offering. People like us who were our client's pet neckbeards convincing them it was ok to go with our Linux offering. No one buys Redhat without an application to run on top of it. That's how they cracked large market industries. Not on their own, but from good will from neckbeards who found it fun to spend their weeknights on a skunk works port on a frankenputer we hacked together (corporate was happy to stay with just offering SCO).
The Redhat that this last week has been on an anti-neckbeard crusade saying 'we aren't the distro for your type' to those of us who got them in the market is what is disappointing. It's like you help your friend become part of your larger friends group and then they ghost you when they don't need you anymore and are 'too cool' for you. So yeah, fuck off Redhat. They can do whatever they want, but they won't be getting any good will, and the petty anarchist in me will take advantage of any situations that come up to do ill upon them if it has a low personal cost.
