Can we all just pretend Red Hat and its derivatives/relatives no longer exist? It's clear that the leadership behind these projects don't care about open source anymore. There are plenty of options for Linux operating systems that actually care about user freedom, privacy, and openness. Anything with Red Hat backing it no longer gets to claim they support any of these.
Install Debian, install Arch. If you must, install Ubuntu (though they're not much better these days). Anything but Red Hat.
Don't forget SUSE :D
Everyone always forgets SUSE :(
SuSE needs a better package manager. Zypper was cool back in the day, but no longer cuts it, especially when you compare it to the likes of dnf5.
Totally disagree, but that's a given when it comes to package managers I think. I showed my coworker who was RHEL to the core some neat Zypper features and he was pretty impressed. One feature I think is cool that I don't think anyone else has is zypper ps which shows processes with open file handles to files that were updated. I also really like the way it handles conflict resolution and the same package in multiple repos.
