What do you all think of the Red Hat drama a few months ago? I just learned about it and looked into it a bit. I’ve been using Fedora for a while now on my main system, but curious whether you think this will end up affecting it.

My take is that yes, it’s kinda a shitty move to do but I get why RH decided to stop their maintenance given they’re a for profit company.

What do you guys think? Do you still use or would you consider using Fedora?

    No amount of gaslighting by you or excusing telemetry for good reason will change my opinion on opt-out telemetry.

      I don’t think you know what gaslighting means.

      But ok, I’m not trying to change your mind lol - I said don’t use it

          Gaslighting, also called coercive control, refers to extreme psychological manipulation to commit an individual to a psychiatric institution or cause mental illness with the intent to brainwash.

          Yeah. That’s totally what I’m doing when I remind you that telemetry exists in multiple distros and I explained that the telemetry Fedora was considering adding has been independently confirmed as not having any personally identifiable information.

            It’s okay dude. You got to learn a new vocabulary today.

            Use whatever distro looks shinier to your eyes.

            I’m never ever going to use a distro that forces telemetry on its unsuspecting users.

            Let it rest.

              I didn’t, you did. You’re the one who didn’t know what gaslighting is lol

              And it doesn’t force it

              Stop spreading misinformation lmao
