    I’m still in two minds about this. We have a lot of infrastructure build on RHEL rebuilds and there’s no way we’re buying enough RHEL licenses to cover it.

    I can look at Devian based alternatives but switching is going to be a time consuming process. If Alma and Rocky get this figured out then I’m still tempted to stick where I am. These distributions have been very stable, and I don’t need support for them. Even if RedHat don’t like this I’m fine with doing it on the basis that they have an obligation to release the source (at least for GPL code).

      Tbh you are best off start new projects on Debian, and slowly move your old stuff over. It’s linux - the main difference will all be in the package manager and versioning.

        It’s a bit more than that unfortunately. Changes in conf file location, selinux Vs apparmour etc. There are a lot of little things which can catch you out if you’re building something relatively complex.
