Oracle linux, just tell them your carpet has an unlicensed database.
I was invited to a user group where oracle Linux was trying to get more adopters. The coolest thing they had was the ability to update a kernel driver while it was running. In place. Without downtime.
I asked them if they planned on pushing this improvement to the kernel devs and they just gave me a blank face.
Told me everything I needed to know about Oracle Linux. I promptly formatted the thumb drive they gave me for free.
If they released it for free then Ubuntu wouldn’t have Ubuntu Pro to sell subscriptions to.
All of our testing cells at work run Oracle!
I don’t know much about it though.
They want to clean the carpet, not lose the house.
They actually have an oracle cloud too. It’s used by some companies… And it’s awful.
It’s used by Tony fucking Stark.
I mean, I can suspend disbelief that he is Iron Man and has futuristic fights with aliens
But I cannot believe that same man uses fucking Oracle Cloud.

Whoa, whoa, there are people who don’t like Windows? I thought Windows was like the king of operating systems?
Whoa, whoa, there are people who like Windows?
Similar to a joke my dad told in the 90’s
If Microsoft ever makes a product that doesn’t suck, it’ll be a vacuum cleaner.
All of them except Hannah Montana Linux, which is the One True Linux.
TempleOS is the one TRUE OS
TempleOS is God’s chosen OS, but I don’t live at church. I use TempleOS to pray, and Hannah Montana Linux for personal tasks. That way I get the best of both worlds.
But it isn’t Linux.
This is the only universal truth any Linux user intuitively knows in their heart.
Hannah Montana Linux is the past, RebeccaBlackOS is the future!!
android
Damn I really can’t argue with that. The developer is a prick
Can someone seriously type with their penis? Impressive!
When you watch it’s really not that impressive.
It’ll randomly doze off whenever you don’t look at it for 5 seconds, tho.
This actually looks cool with several robots being supported
You’ve just sent me down another rabbit hole. Thanks man…
Installing on my fridge. Which one is the coolest?
Kali Linux. All the kids talk about it. All the kids want to be with it.
Hannah Montana Linux.

Linux From Scratch.
Which honestly might be necessary to actually get a fridge running a free operating system, anyway.
TempleOS
Be careful to not store any water in there
It’ll turn to ice cause it’s so cool?
Or to Wine?
I’d say Manjaro but they’d probably DDOS your vacuum on accident.
… My vacuum actually does run Linux.
!It’s a roborock with Valetudo installed so it doesn’t need internet access!<
Actual: ChromeOS or Android
Snobby: Ubuntu with Unity

Android is far the best Linux, especially with security and usability
Stock android doesn’t even have a phone app. I’d say GrapheneOS is the best android. And good OK Debian is the best Linux (I don’t have the bandwidth for arch btw)
That’s why android is good. I use a vanilla AOSP
Womp womp
RHEL because the best Linux is the one you pay for.
There’s people who pay for Linux!? 😭
mostly enterprise people
But, like, is for support and stuff, no?
A lot of industries are semi-forced into it. Let me give you an example I know of first-hand. Modern SAP stacks support 3 operating systems. Windows Server, RHEL, and SuSE.
You’re probably thinking to yourself: “but rhel is just regular linux, surely you can install it on anything if you have the appropriate dependencies, I’ll bet it even just works on rhel-compatibles like rocky, alma, or centos stream!”
And you would be ~sort of~ right, but wrong in the most dystopian way possible. The installer itself does hardcoded checks for “compatible” operating systems, using /etc/os-release and a few other common system files. Spoofing those to rhel 8.5 or whatever is easy enough, but the one that really gets you is a dependency for compat-glibc-X.Y-ZZZZ.x86_64. This “glibc compatibility library” is conveniently only accessible via a super special redhat repository granted by a super special sap license (which is like ~$2,000/year/cpu). Looking at the redhat sources it is actually just a bog-standard semi-modern glibc compile with nothing special. The only other thing you get with this license as far as I can tell is another metapackage that installs dependencies, and makes a few kernel tweaks recommended by SAP.
So you can install it on alma/rocky by impersonating rhel in /etc/os-release, and then compiling a version of glibc and linking it in a special hardcoded location, but SAP/Redhat put as many roadblocks in your way as possible to do this. It took me weeks of reverse-engineering the installer to get our farm off of the ~100k/yr that redhat wanted to charge us for essentially:
./configure --enable-bootstrap --enable-languages=c,c++,lto --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --with-bugurl=http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --enable-checking=release --enable-multilib --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit --disable-libunwind-exceptions --enable-gnu-unique-object --enable-linker-build-id --with-gcc-major-version-only --enable-plugin --with-linker-hash-style=gnu --enable-initfini-array --disable-libquadmath --disable-libsanitizer --disable-libvtv --disable-libgomp --disable-libitm --disable-libssp --disable-libatomic --disable-libcilkrts --without-isl --disable-libmpx --enable-gnu-indirect-function --with-tune=generic --with-arch_32=i686 --build=x86_64-redhat-linux Thread model: posix gcc version 9.1.1 20190605 (Red Hat 9.1.1-2) (GCC)
definitely worth $100,000/yr… much capitalism, many line go up
Finally… I found it… Evil Linux…
There is nothing evil about it? Like sources are available, rhel itself is cheap and actually invests a lot in oss. If you want an unsupported system you are free to do something like this.
I said evil as in the meme, like the evil version of something is its total opposite. And RHEL sound like the total opposite of what I associate whit Linux.
Just don’t tell that numpty that runs !linuxsucks@lemmy.world
I assumed that you could just run fedora and spoof RHEL. The fact that you need to use a specific GCC is insane. They must share their source code right? Or, are they no longer sharing it as they are legally required to?
Anyways, RHEL is deep suck.
The source to this compat library is in their sources last I checked, but because it’s not part of their standard repos it doesn’t technically have to be. I suspect this is eventually the end-goal.
RHEL is subscription based. Not just support anymore. Also for product.
Don’t know what to think about it… 😬
