So is Alpine Linux. Almost no enterprise I've worked at lately wants to deal with antiquated software as long as their Kubernetes distro is working well.
I believe they tried blaming this on the creator of the C++ port of their server software without any proof and it sort of left a bad impression with me.
I was never a fan of RHEL even before they got purchased. They've done some great things lately with Podman, Buildah, Skopeo, etc but never really been an innovator when it comes to desktop Linux. I see Arch and Alpine being the real innovators, and projects like wlroots.
Why would you want to use a closed-source solution for an open-source solution? Zulip, Mattermost, Matrix, Rocket.Chat all seem like more ideal communication and community platforms. There is also Odoo that handles CRM/ERP type solutions.
There are lots of stable Linux distros running the stable kernel which is 5.8. it is just distros like RHEL that call themselves stable, but are actually antiquated and honestly just give users a bad experience because most of the software is outdated. Wouldn't expect anything less from IBM.
Which dictionary? Stability doesn't mean the software can't change. It has more to do with not being broken, than not changing. The latest stable Linux kernel is 5.8.3.
I don't think running older software automatically equals stability, and is a false sense of security. There are a lot of tools and techniques to automatically handle issues with software that are transparent to the end user.
If for some reason they were caught doing something worthy of changing the network, then I could see it happening. With their recent addition of video messaging, they pretty much have the best messenger app to date.
G Suite is FedRAMP compliant. AWS isn't doing anything different or better and isn't any more trustworthy. Additionally, as I mentioned I also backup off-site using CrashPlan but may eventually change to another provider like Wasabi, B2 or potentially just JottaCloud.
Backups are a necessity, and I don't blame the users but it would definitely help mitigate risks when it comes to updating software. I am an update fanatic running Arch and constantly keep all my software up-to-date. Fortunately, I've never had any issues, but if I do I have both Google Drive synced via rclone and Crashplan to help me recover.
I can attest to this to some degree. The speed at which your brain operates influences your perception of time. I can recall when I was in good health that just listening to music sounded much different, especially with certain hallucinogenics, almost as if it were slowed down significantly than how I'd perceive it currently. I also suffer from depression and find that while depressed, time definitely seems to go by quicker and I'm not able to get as much done, and generally my thoughts are not as keen and rapid than when I'm not depressed. I have been semi-manic in the past and it was amazing how many thoughts and things I was able to accomplish in a shorter amount of time, but it also helped me enjoy more subtle things that I normally wouldn't be able to notice because my mind can't process as many things at once.
One thing I've learned is that rather than use a docker-entrypoint.sh, most Linux software can be ran just using the `--user 1000:1000` or whatever UID/GID you want to use, as long as you map a volume that can use those permissions. It is a lot cleaner this way.
