This is nice for SPARC hobbyists like me, because now I can play with newer packages on my SPARC T4 server. Without this the updated packages would be stuck at versions from 2018.

But in 2022, there is not very big need for commercial operating systems outside of large enterprises. But still I'm happy that Oracle will be supporting Solaris until 2034. I always get sad when something is deprecated.

I understand that everyone wants to use Linux and x86 nowdays, but it still makes me sad that the diversity in operating systems and hardware is decreasing. It feels like everyone is only interested in Linux. Many FOSS software doesn't even work or compile well on other free operating systems such as BSDs and Illumos distros, because the developers use Linux themselves.

I'm mostly a Linux user myself, but I would like to live in a world with a lot of different operating systems and CPU architectures in use.
