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.

rootless capability

That's Podman primary feature right? still.. privacy and security has a downside on convenience as far as many people critize, and I choose that features rather than easy implementing with no security system enhanced. Yet, the future still bluring on Redhat side when they more expand than competition. Do we will face same tragedy like Ubuntu / Docker aggresive decision in open source space again?

I don't think so, as the team that works in podman are veteran in Industry since Red Hat inception, I don't think they will do something stupid, unless that the management meddle too much...

Red Hat need more profit to grow... and they are protecting their interest with GPL rights that people never think off.. soo... I won't touch more than podman topic, he he he..
