Yes, Gregory Kurtzer personally helped in development (primarily the packaging / tools during 8.3 and then 8.4). I know, I was there lol. For example, see the commit log to the early set of Rocky Linux devtools:

https://github.com/rocky-linux/devtools/commits/main?after=f...

"All he does is talk" is unfairly dismissive. We all have our roles, and Greg's is not release engineering.

The "taking credit" bit is an unfortunate misconception, media likes to attribute the entire project to gmk since he's a notable personality, but he himself does not.

Rocky Linux is developed by a large team, some who are paid too and some who are strictly volunteers, but yes, Gregory Kurtzer's own company (https://ciq.co) has invested quite a bit into Rocky Linux. (Many developers, FIPS validation alone is upwards of a million USD, etc)

Rocky is "winning" if by "winning" you mean more widely used. Here are some graphs charting usage through EPEL statistics: https://rocky-stats.tiuxo.com.

The source used to generate the graphs is available at https://github.com/brianclemens/rocky-stats, however please be kind to the Fedora servers and don't download the stats database too often if you use it.

Also Rocky Linux is far larger in terms of community size, etc.

irssi is just an IRC client, it doesn't really fit in with the theme of self hosting.

Rocky Linux also has a conversion script available https://rockylinux.org/migrate2rocky.sh

> Getting past the forced FB integration

There is no "getting past the forced FB integration", which is what makes it a paperweight to the author.

> How about their excellence at using English, by the way?

Ah yes, so should we also judge Englishmen by how well they use Japanese? What kind of anglocentric racist logic is this?

> buys a chinesium tablet with a rootkit > assumes all chinese devices are compromised China's a big country with a lot of companies, I wouldn't lump them all together.

I've done this with most of my clothes. I was a little worried people would comment about me wearing the same thing every day, but in five months of wearing identical blue shirts and brown slacks, nobody has said anything negative about it. I missed that aspect of the military, but it seems any job can be a uniformed job if you're not a fashion idol.

All of this and more has been explored with BEEF. An easy way to demonstrate these sorts of attacks is with BEEF + MITMF.

Some terminals (like urxvt) also support running as a daemon and spawning a new window just attaches to that terminal daemon. Faster and it saves you a megabyte or two over actually opening a whole new terminal.

I imagine that won't last long :^(
