That's just barely thoughts-and-prayers level. They could at least schedule a mandatory meeting that interrupts everyone's day for half an hour.

SuSE was kinda in some retail stores but mostly only really the ones that were mostly exclusively computer-related (at least in the states). But RedHat was EVERYWHERE: book stores, computer stores, electronics stores, and hell even my college bookstore had it.

They really did make impressive inroads in selling Linux, even if they did decide to bail out after 9 and moved from consumer to corporate focused.

I'll second that. Oracle sucks but they've given me thousands worth of free cloud shit over the last 3 years so I'm not displeased.

First-mover advantage, combined with a long tail of support and the cost of migrating to a new platform.

RedHat was, for a VERY long time, the only real commercially supported Linux with SLAs and long-term roadmaps and backported security patches: and yes, Debian does those, but they don't offer any sort of guarantees that corpo management types really really like.

So Apple is paying them in exposure? First time I've ever seen that where it might actually be worth something.

For me, more specifically, the problem is they took my data and made a tool to sell it back to me without paying me for it.

I have no real issue with current ai stuff, other than you're effectively taking our stuff and want us to pay you for doing so.

If they weren't freeloading on everyone, I suspect you'd have a lot less angry people.
