No bullshit, but my org went to Oracle Linux and we haven't had any issues whatsoever.

Not saying to switch to it, but it isn't like the server implodes if you disconnect a credit card swiper from it.

Technical problems aren't the primary reason people recommend against using Oracle, it's the extortion that happens further down the road once they've got you locked in. And in the case of Oracle Linux, that seems to be almost a certainty at some point.
Fair point, they don't have the best track record :)
Same scenario as getting ingested by IBM after all
I've always saw it as IBM = rabid salesmen, Oracle = rabid lawyers.
Two competing brands of lawnmowers.
