RH is the maintainer\developer of great many things. Of course it’d be nice for them to have good competition (like what Canonical was), so that they wouldn’t use that power for evil.
Still them becoming weaker is not a case for optimism.
I’d really like something like Gentoo with official binary packages (and relevant tree), so that building from source would be an option and installing a binary package the usual way. Well, also simpler installation maybe.
I mean, Calculate Linux does that, but I think it’s a Russian small-business oriented distribution, so not exactly my use case.
I think many of their maintained projects are absolutely garbage and are destroying Linux.
Case in point: systemd.
Hate docker too, not the concept, the horrible implementation, maybe ditto for systemd, I could have lived with it if it didn’t look like it was written by msft. For docker we needed something like it, just the way it was hacked in is horrifying, it makes my blood curdle.
Rh is, imho, responsible for most of the worst parts of Linux, even though I will admit they do satisfy a critical need.
I want to see them die and be replaced by a better software firm.
About the function of systemd (or docker, or pulseaudio, or gnome 3, or wayland) - well, I don’t need it, but I understand the usual arguments of its proponents. It does solve problems other init systems don’t. Only it’s such a PITA to use that I’m a Void Linux user.
Especially sad considering that this was entirely different in the Gnome 2 times.

You mean that RH hates ergonomics? Agreed here.
