      They have a stranglehold on enterprise computing after they ate redhat, and they still make insane mainframes, they’ve just left the consumer world (which makes sense given their name i guess)

        I wouldn’t go that far, there’s been a mass exodus from Redhat and they’re hardly the only game in town when it comes to mainframes. You do have a point though.

          The mass exodus from RH has been massively overstated. It’s mostly a bunch of Redditors and Lemmings saying “omg I’ll never use RHEL now, even though I never have”, but in reality, they’ve not seen an exodus.

          I do think their actions have a good chance of causing damage in the long term, though.
