>For me the most frustrating thing about linux is that it's distros are universally made by people who love linux, and the linux paradigm.

The distro I use (Slackware), 100% true. Plus that can be said for many others too.

But, RHEL and by extension Rocky and Alma Linux are driven by corporations and marketing, like Windows is. So if you want a marketing driven OS, you have these anyway.

I just hope RHEL changes does not infect Slackware, a couple of things snuck in due to dependencies, but luckily it did not change the feel of Slackware (yet).
