Setting aside the fact that that is not even remotely true, do you think Linux = Red Hat? What about almost every other distro being run by volunteeers?
I’ve only ever seen redhat used by government and some corporations. As far as the broader community goes (especially the foss community), they are a pretty minor player.
It’s honestly insane that you can sit there and shill for Microsoft these days. They’ve always been pretty evil, but now they’ve gone so far off the deep end they’re even driving away people who have been all-in on Microsoft their whole lives. Even non-tech people are getting simply fed up with all of the spying and intrusive, AI-infested bullshit. Linux marketshare has been steadily increasing over the last couple of years, and it doesn’t look like it’s slowing down anytime soon. And all of it is, ultimately, because Windows is forcing people away.

You misunderstood: Red Hat The Linux Distribution (not quite relevant for Linux development) is not Red Hat The Commercial Entity (quite relevant for Linux development). However, volunteers repackaging (“distributing”) Red Hat software still don’t change the nature of the software, but that’s a different discussion.

I do not do that. What I actually wrote is: By moving from Windows to Linux (assuming you use Linux-libre), you gain a certain level of freedom, but that freedom still relies on commercial entities and their own ideas that are contributed to the kernel. Just because you can see the code, you still can’t decide about the code.
Note that I do not use Windows. You make it sound like I would.
Let’s leave it at that. We probably won’t solve this debate over Christmas, and life is too short to argue about software. :-)
Have a good one.

Please stop feeding the troll, for crying out loud.
