Rocky Linux was a corporate fork with numerous dubious ethical decisions early on
1 comments

Rocky Enterprise Software Foundation is a benefit corporation founded by the original founder of CentOS and other CentOS developers in response to CentOS becoming a stream OS instead of a stable OS.

You'll have to be specific about what dubious ethical decisions you mean. I'm unaware of any, and I feel like I'm pretty tuned into this specific story.

I mean here are just a few of the issues re: the founding https://hackernoon.com/the-case-against-rocky-linux

If you’re “pretty tuned in” you would at least know that all this founder & foundation fluff is a load of corporate PR BS.

I was also referring to them shipping broken releases early on and them fighting with users about it instead of fixing and figuring out why they were publishing broken garbage.
