I left Ubuntu when they sent all my dock search history to Amazon. But this time is different, should I leave Fedora considering how much it is developed by Red Hat?
I’ve actively defended this distribution and Red Hat for many years now and I’m deep in their technology but I want to avoid being a Devil’s Advocate.
Absolutely. Debian is the only distribution that’s truly safe from a corporate takeover. Some people call their strict governance model onerous, I call it necessary.
Here to second this! I highly respect the Fedora community and their distribution, it is awesome work and an awesome platform. Still, when I think long term, I want to run an OS w/o cooperate ties, because all Linux distributions with cooperate ties did shitty things against the community eventually. Your time is not free and life is short - so Debian is one of the few save technology investments you can make at this time IMHO.
Would you say the for Gentoo?
Of the mainstream ones definitely. Otherwise there are some indepedent distros where that wouldn’t happen.
