  1. Red Hat made themselves irrelevant decades ago. IBM is just nailing the lid on the coffin today. I'm OK with that too.

  2. It really couldn't have happened to a distro that deserves it more than Red Hat does. For a moment everyone was running Red Hat. I even ran Red Hat. Red Hat was the answer to one of Linux's biggest problems. Fragmentation. But then Red Hat made up2date subscription. And we all left like rats leave a sinking ship. That single move set Linux back an incalculable amount. Now here we all are decades later.

  3.  @Eugensson  I don't know about that. Red Hat is still the second highest kernel contributor. Intel is number one.

  4.  @lenwhatever4187  yes you must have missed something. Because when Red Hat 7 came out with up2date it was transformational. That was in 2000. But by 7.3 they made up2date subscription and all of the amateurs abandoned the distro. I went to SuSE back when they were formatting it like that still. Others went their separate ways. 7.1 and 7.2 had a massive share of the user base though. We could have standardized then and quit wasting so much effort. Alas it was not meant to be. Now we just have to duplicate everything ad nauseum.
