THE developer of GNote [1-6], who has worked for Novell until recently, is moving to Fedora.
I bit the bullet and installed Fedora 11-BETA on my only machine, to replace openSUSE 11.1. Let's see how it goes. I don't think there will be any big issue.
"When former Novell engineers voluntarily embrace Red Hat, then it’s rather telling."
Not really - Redhat is nice - particularly if you're a developer. And they're both rpm based - and specifically, not debian based. Debian based distro's are kind of crap if you've used anything else - particularly if you're a developer.
I tried Ubuntu after leaving Novell (and gave it more than one chance), but that sucked a lot, so i was happy to be back to Redhat again when I finally did it. What a surprise it is that man pages actually work; for instance.
Last week IBM laid off almost 1,000 people in Confluent and the media didn't write anything about it, so don't expect anyone in what's left of the media to comment on Fedora's demise and silent layoffs at Red Hat
In an age when ~1,000 simultaneous layoffs aren't enough to receive any media coverage, what can we expect remaining publishers to tell us about Microsoft layoffs in 2026?
Is the "era of AI" an era when none of the media will mention over 800 layoffs? [...] There's a lesson here about the state of the contemporary media, not just IBM and bluewashing
