Red Hat has made the decision to lock down the sources of their Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) distribution, angering many users who relied on its compatibility with other distributions.
The move has left users questioning whether they should continue supporting RHEL and RHEL-like distributions or switch to alternatives like Fedora.
The decision has raised concerns about the impact on production systems and the need for support from Red Hat. Users are exploring alternatives such as Alma Linux and Rocky Linux.
Red Hat is facing criticism for recent decisions that are damaging the company's reputation and goodwill, potentially hurting their relationship with the grassroots community and leading to a loss of talent and adoption in the open-source community.
Suggestions have been made for Red Hat to allow rebuilders like Alma or Rocky to exist by providing them with access to the source code but restricting their ability to sell support, in order to address concerns from small businesses and developers who find it difficult to navigate the licensing and subscription processes for using real RHEL.
Users are considering alternative distributions like Debian and Ubuntu, as well as distros like Oracle Linux and Amazon Linux, due to concerns about the impact on the open-source community and the loss of goodwill, making it harder for Red Hat to attract and retain customers.

Choosing a smaller market with fewer competitors can increase the chances of success for a 1-person business, as it allows for specialization and becoming the biggest fish in a niche market.
