More about Red Hat's decision to make CentOS Stream the primary repository for RHEL sources.

Some mix of wrong and right, the exact proportions of which I’ll leave as an exercise to the reader.

    Funny considering that AlmaLinux OS Foundation is a non-profit

    He’s clearly talking about Oracle though? Like, that’s almost certainly why Red Hat is doing what they’re doing, rather than specifically targeting Alma/Rocky, because Oracle Linux is a paid competitor that does exactly what he describes

      It’s not like Oracle is just a rebuild, they have UEK, that is something.

      And RedHat would get much less hate if they didn’t treat Alma/Rocky as collateral damage. Or if they didn’t discontinue CentOS a few years prior.

      Also it apparently took RedHat 16 years to notice that they have a paid competitor whom they don’t like.
