I am not sure if there is a point to that, or if an open-source converter wouldn't suffice.

maybe you are living in some fantasy world?

Originally posted by MoonMoon View PostWell, he was suggesting RH is going Microsoft on open source ecosystem.
-Microsoft are opening source of its softwares (I know, slowly)]
-Its open source projects have concerned to be portable
-Microsoft has the desktop and gamer market for years, so investing in graphics specification is an obvious thing.
But we know they have its own DirectX.

Is Red Hat doing in open source world the same as Microsoft have done in proprietary world?
If yes, so it's not a conspiacy theory.
Else, it is.
Where is Microsoft? Office market, desktop market, gamer market, development market, hardware partnership, mobile market, SaS market, linux market and the "new" containers market
Where is Red Hat? Server market with support services, desktop market, development market, hardware development, linux everywhere, virtualizations, containers, file system development, mobile market and now graphics?
so, it's not a conspiracy theory.

Originally posted by Dharc View PostRed Hat is developer of community projects like GNU, GNOME, Wayland, open source drivers, Linux, Docker and others.....and now, a company which makes non-portable software is associated to a specification? Sorry, but a developer of non-portable software interested in specification is NOT good news anywhere around the globe -_-.
GNOME: portable
Wayland: portable
open source drivers: drivers are usually aimed at using a specific kernel, so I don't see yopur point here. Anyways, the BSDs actually port Linux drivers to their kernels, so: portable
Linux: Hmm, OK, I would like to see what a portable kernel is, I can't imagine such a thing
Docker: It specifically uses Linux features, but I don't see any real hurdles to port it to other systems that provide similar functionality (namespaces and a COW filesystem), but I give you this one
So from the 6 things you named only one can count as not portable (leaving the Linux kernel aside, I am still baffled by that, to what would you port the Linux kernel?), so calling RH a company that develops non-portable software is far fetched at best. In the meantime, you tell us that Microsoft can be trusted more than Red Hat, because a few of their dozens of software projects get open sourced. Yes, I still stand by that, you are a conspiracy theorist and your opinions are not based on facts. Or, the other possibility, you try to be a troll and utterly fail with that.
