it’s about using a platform that’s owned by a corporate entity that will do anything for more profit.

IBM is known for doing whatever they want, whenever they want.

I have zero sympathy for a project that leverages tooling from a vendor with the kind of reputation IBM has.

that said, someone better suited for the project will fork it and it will carry on, just might lose some momentum.

base your whole project on a corporate Nazi shill company like IBM and find out.

I don’t disagree, but at the same time it’s a choice the community has taken that completely walls off a large population of potential users.

as someone else said though, there are other distros based on Debian that attempt to rectify that.

is fedora base better than Debian/Arch base?

unfortunately yes. driver support for any redhat derived Linux is amazing compared to Debian or Arch.

I stopped using redhat anything after IBM fucked everything up, but it’s still true today.

Debian could be amazing if it weren’t for the devout “it’s not free, it’s not for me” evangelicals. I mean, I get it, but there is a cost they just don’t concern themselves with and the distro suffers because of it.
