Er, RHEL has been running on Power for a very long time. The fastest
supercomputer in the world is Power9 + RHEL.
What I meant is that POWER could become a competitor for Intel/AMD based
servers. We're now running AMD EPYC servers with 64Cores/128Threads
and we
didn't find any POWER system which could compete in this area.
Also, looking at TOP500 list there are not so many POWER systems
anymore.
IBM could change this now.

Yeah.....I guess that's one way to look at it.
My biggest worry? Is I've placed so much time and effort "getting to
know" Fedora and its intricacies, idiosyncrasies, its ins and
outs...dealt with ridicule on this very same list when I first
started, have "cut my teeth" on learning VERY hard lessons about
certain syntax in the Terminal and what NOT to type.......only to have
that all "taken" away from me at the whim of IBM. It just seems
unfair. I'm hoping like H3LL that the developers @ Fedora are
seriously thinking about forking "Just In Case"!? I mean they could
still use the .RPM extensions, and possibly even still pull their code
from RHEL, but at least they would be autonomous and wouldn't have to
rely on IBM's good will in order to keep on churning out what....to
me...is the best Linux distro on the planet! As I write this....I'm
eyeballing the spare ThinkPad T-410 that I've neglected since I have
Fedora running on a Dell XPS, and I'm thinking its time to get "back
to my roots" and to find a distro I can put on that device and run
without concern....I've heard some decent things about this "Pop-OS"
which comes with System76's hardware. Maybe I'll give that a
spin......then like I had said before...there's always Debian plain
vanilla...with maybe MATE or Cinnamon?.....or else its going to have
to be where I buckle down and finally learn all there is to know about
LFS and Arch Linux and then move on to one of those...(God!.....at
47!?....its like how can I POSSIBLY start over again!?...) and THIS is
the kind of turmoil that ensues when a corporation buys a fully
functioning open course company!
wow, I am just 62 and looking forward to the next round of CentOS -
version 8 coming up? - must be due soon ....
Love learning new stuff, it never gets old (pun intended).
sorry for the noise, but couldn't resist, must be the age ....
