I’m curious about what you think on how it will affect the Linux community and distros (especially RHEL based distros like Fedora or Rocky).

I’m going to continue running Debian as I did since 2003 or so.
I’m happy for you. Some of us have commercial software that needs a RHEL like distro to run.
supposedly you pay for this software. might as well pay for RHEL too then.
We are, but some orgs are more cash strapped than mine.
With all the new updates happening around all the Linux peripherals, I wouldnt like to stay behind for the next 2/3 years on Debian
Anything that is old on Debian is even older on RHEL so I don’t understand your comment.
Except not everything, as RHEL has selection of software updated to newer versions. Debian just keeps everything old.
Debian has great backports support. And if you need fresher software use nix, flatpak, etc, or run testing or unstable.
What is happening?
You don’t have to use stable for the entire duration of debian 12, switch to testing after say about six months, I’m running testing right now (by accident, forgot I was tracking testing and not bookworm/bullseye) only found a tiny bug with libvirtd.
Debian is lovely os.
Someone has no idea how Debian works.
