Ubuntu from 2006 right up until they replaced the firefox deb with a mandatory snap, whenever that was. Then I was on Pop OS for about 6 months, and now Fedora, which I don't see myself leaving anytime soon.

This was an incredible read; thanks for sharing! After I got over the gut punch, I'm finding it really difficult to be upset with RHEL. What are the essential things I want RHEL to do? I want them to provide their source code to their customers. They're still doing that. I want them to contribute code upstream and to related projects. They're still doing that. I want them to continue to advocate for software freedom. They're still doing that. I get that the FLOSS community can be....shall we say recalcitrant?....when it comes to ecosystemic changes. And I know a lot of us view this as a Bad Move (tm). But I just can't muster up the anger. And I continue to appreciate all the positives RHEL and IBM have brought historically and continue to bring to the FLOSS community. Every change is a loss, and every loss has to be mourned, but I just can't be angry about it.
