Hi All and RedHatters, Windows 10 is going to be End of Life soon. Canonical is promoting Ubuntu Pro. Does IBM have any plans for Red Hat to take advantage of this opportunity? I post this here as I see many people with @redhat.com frequenting here. Thanks, ----- Lee
Hi Lee, Kaisen: constant change RHEL is wonderful if you have an "appliance" application. Appliance, meaning "set and forget". Nothing must ever change. RHEL is AWFUL for a Kaisen situation: upgrade, new features etc. Fedroa wonderful for Kaisen, which would be almost all of your standard computer users. There really is no opportunity for RHEL with W10 expiring. I have my foot in both the Fedora and Windows pool. This is what I see happening. 1) w10 users just gets a good antivirus and ignore the end of life 2) they upgrade to W11, if they can. 3) they buy a new computer that meets W11's asinine hardware requirements 4) they install Tiny-11, which is a stripped W11 and I highly recommend it (get around the hardware requirements, the spyware accounts, remove tons of M$ trash) 5) they have me install Fedora on their old equipment Here is the thing. Fedora is vastly superior to Windows in technology, security, and quality. Fedora is easier to use than Windows (not gnome). This was not the case in the far past but not for a lot of years. I install MATE on my low skill users. I recommend MATE, Xfce, KDE. Windows has all their favorite apps: M$ Office, Adobe stuff, Quick Books, Family Tree Maker, Turbo Tax, etc.. This is Fedora's only downfall the typically deal killer. Fedora has Wine, but Wine is Alpha code at best. Most Windows apps do not run in it. But Fedora also has qemu-kvm, which runs Windows really well, but virtual machine are typically over the standard users heads. It is confusing for them (not anyone on this mail list though.) My two cents. -T -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
