On the server...? Isn't RHEL used primarily on servers?

Yes and no. Fedora is the upstream of RHEL, and like Fedora there are both workstation and server editions. The relationship is similar to RHEL being the LTS of Fedora but not quite the same. A lot of governments and enterprises that have switched to Linux for workstations are using RHEL.

They would dismantle that and would do Hatred From Scratch.

It didn't help their cause when they coincidentally came out with the "Fascist Fedora" release, and they had to decide to stop naming their releases after types of governments.

Long-term support and distro-branched tool chains are a boon to the workstation too. And all of lennarts cancer has been in support of dynamic networking changes and wifi devices; no overlap with a server, but they include that shit at every turn. So obviously they're primarily geared for laptops and servers are a target of opportunity -- and their decline in stability over 3-4 distro versions just backs that up.

If that counts as use of RHEL: All workstations of our institute were running CentOS.

You don't understand the humor of hearing about something that seems to be a coincidence, and then hearing a separate example that is overtly terrible in the same way?

No, I don't even know what you're talking about. I've engaged in this for too long already if you're not going to explain whatever the heck you were talking about. I think you're also getting downvotes because others don't know what you're talking about either.

I literally just explained it to you. I'm not being cagey. I think you must be used to not getting jokes, so I'm not sure why you're blaming me.

I would say based on the votes nobody knows what you're talking about. But yeah, go ahead and be condescending for some reason. Enjoy it I guess.

Hey. I'm sincere when I say this: I think we sometimes get into the unfortunate habit of gloomscrolling, just incessant negative news- that when we stumble into another community, we go in a bit "on-edge". Please don't think they're out to harm you. I've gotten upset by TheOnion more than my fair share of times. Also, toast rocks.

Hated, the new Systemd component. It replaces sudo cursing at you and occasionally discriminates some users on the system. Once every few years it revokes your admin privileges for some bogus reasons and tells other users false log readings supposed to show that you're a danger to the system.

Downvotes are meaningless, except to give me a list of usernames who don't know how to participate in adult discussions. I don't have much in the way of respect for people who take stock in them. Donald Trump got the most votes in 2024, and it doesn't mean anything except that tens of millions of people made a poor decision when voting.

It took me a second to get it too. It's just a joke that's worded like the caption on an old fashioned 1 panel cartoon, like Far Side.

e.g. if I'd posted a picture of a man surrounded by an angry mob, he might have commented something like "in hindsight, Greg shouldn't have sold a counterfeit Mona Lisa to ALL the museums in town."
