Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
    •

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    Oh that is still up? Isn’t Red hat hunting down all the forks currently?

    [–] kitsuneofinari@yiffit.net 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

    It is a hard fork not a soft fork. Like Alma and Oracle, it will not be 1:1 binary compatible with RHEL anymore.

    All forks previously were 1:1 binary compatible meaning they were soft forks.

    Since RHEL killed the soft forks, making 1:1 RHEL clones impossible, all hard forks will divert from RHEL to do their own thing now.

    They’re not hunting for forks one by one, instead they don’t release the source code anymore for non-costumers of RHEL, effectively killing off hard forks.

    Ah I see. Makes sense. SO what Suse is planning to do is to start at the fork point and just maintain it their own way ?

    [–] Sjoerd1993@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

    As far as I know they are planning to maintain it their own way. But I’m not exactly sure about the details on how compatible with RHEL they plan it to be in the future, how it will affect their own enterprise release in the long term.
