Will CIQ’s new support program alienate the community it built on an objection to subscriber-only…

In a dramatic reversal from years of rhetoric, CIQ has announced a new support program for Rocky Linux which is not strictly a 1:1 build of…

Gordon Messmer on fosstodon:

These are the folks behind Rocky Linux, for anyone else missing context.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
