From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Seriously, wtf Redhat?
Long term and by all accounts, valuable, employee makes a reasonable request for distance working and gets denied? What's more, them leaving has landed them with a serious problem about maintaining key software.
I've not been a big fan of Redhat for some years now, but that's a new IBM smelling low. Their best years are definitely behind them.
Feel particularly naughty today? Red Hat's got your back:

PS make sure you're using Red Hat's init system too. Because the more devices that run it, the more extra features it deserves, and the quicker systemd's CVEs will get fixed, maximizing convenience and security; https://app.opencve.io/cve/?q=systemd
