in hindsight, new centos explains how fedora is now defaulting to butterfs while it's being deprecated in rhel lmao

it's because fedora is where redhat funnels all the bazinga energy. the centos change is unrelated and entirely down to IBM being desperate for revenue

Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?
what’s the big deal, why wouldn’t everyone just pay IBM for their developer workstation and server operating systems? their prices these days are far better than they used to be.

debian has never seen a package they didn't want to drag their dicks up and down on account of there being a Debian Policy about a thing written by, signed, a 400lbs beard and suspenders weirdo

the entire point of linux is that its free (as in no value). if someone charges for a linux then it defeats the purpose.

That was a very stupid patch.
what was even more dumb was the way OpenSSL was generating entropy.

OpenSSL is an entire nightmare in of itself. FFS it has big-endian x86 support. :psyduck:

if you’re going to pay for a distro why not pay for rhel

if you’re going to use opensuse why not use fedora instead

if you need to run sap it’s fine I guess lol

i did a fresh install, typed 'apt-get update' and it removed the kernel and wouldn't boot anymore. granted this was many, many years ago and i think it was on the testing channel, but i've never had anything else do that

It even warns you specifically before anything that would remove the running kernel

Rufus Ping posted:

oh a warning, that fixes everything. people always carefully read through the 800 lines of update spew before hitting 'y' to update, just like they actually read eulas

uninstalling the running kernel is something that you shouldn't be able to do. period. out of curiosity i've tried manually uninstalling the running kernel on redhat distros and you can't do it as it's a protected package. maybe there's some obscure dnf command to force it, but at the very least it's extremely difficult, as it should be

That sounds dangerous so just train yourself to keyboard mash through everything without reading it imo.

i uninstall running kernels all the time

if apt installs a new one, i remove the existing one and manually delete the leftover stuff in the old directory in /lib/modules before rebooting

it makes me unreasonably angry that centos prevents you from doing this

Centos does it automatically, but keeps the last X(two by default, iirc, but configurable) versions in case of emergency

rhel and adjacent distros automatically delete old kernels, they keep the last couple just in case

You really should only remove it after you reboot and make sure the new one works, after which it's conveniently not the running kernel.

I do that all the time as well because the boot partition on my embedded device can't hold two kernels and initramfs at once
