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 ....
Hahahaah!.....good one! Now THAT made me smile!.....thanks for the
laugh! Gotta remember to not always be the Doom & Gloom bearer! :o)!
Guess I'll just keep on truckin' with F29...and hope all goes well.
EGO II
But it is also entirely possible that CentOS 8 will be the last one to
come out. Before a corporate agenda will "merge" it with their general
philosophy.
To me it looks pathetic that a lively profitable entity with an entirely
different corporate psychology is consumed by big conglomerates. What for?
By the way I am 60 and been following Linux/Linus since Kernel 0.99.
Some time before RedHat appeared strong on the scene.
