SUSE is forking RHEL
I'm continually baffled that so many companies follow RHEL compatibility to this day.<p>I've been using Linux for nearly 30 years. Admining as a profession for at least a quarter of that.  20 years ago, it made a ton of sense.  Today, less so.<p>The 'stable version but we backport patches' mantra doesn't make any sense today.  I can't even describe how many things that have broken that you can't even find an answer for because it was some RH specific patch.<p>Between Debian, Nix, Arch, and others, I can't figure out why RHEL compat is so desirable.  I'll go as far as to say that my Arch boxes have been far more predictable than my RHEL boxes.
