      IBM will still sell you a brand new, updated mainframe in 2023.

      They’re also in the open source software space (IBM owns Red Hat, a software company that has a lot of projects for Linux. Red Hat has their own Linux distro too)

          Yeah. I agree with ya there, Red Hat screwed over Alma and Rocky with that decision. I can see the utility of those two distros for testing before committing to RHEL.

          Plus, if Oracle has room to try to be the “good guys”, you’ve really screwed up
