Red Hat Is Hiring Even More Graphics Engineers

[kgonzales]

RedHat should push NVIDIA towards at least releasing the bloody firmware for GPUs. This is number one thing they should pursue.

What makes you think they don't push Nvidia? Trick is, Nvidia has to respond.

Just search around and do some research on why people might not like Red Hat as much as you might think.

And then do additional research on why those people's opinions are pretty unqualified. Haters gonna hate, especially the "I don't want to pay for anything but I also don't actually contribute anything" crowd.

And pushing entire ecosystem forward with modern software. Without Red Hat Linux would be far less interesting. Hopefully their priorities won't change after acquisition by IBM.

In everything I can see, their priorities received more focus and funding since the acquisition. Wish lists (like lots of funded heads for graphics) are becoming reality.

Interesting. So you think people might only not like Red Hat because of systemd?

I invite you to keep researching.

Yes, please find all the inane reasons to not like Red Hat. Waste your time on all the uninformed opinions. Then get informed, and realize how silly they are.

I recommend anyone who does not like Red Hat to back out all code contributed to open source by engineers employed by Red Hat. Otherwise you are just posing. Be a real hairshirt champion. You do not need their code. You only like real basement open source.

Not going to waste my time because odd are, they are gripes of people that have so little experience and even less understanding of the real world that their opinions have no relevance. What is ironic is that you apparently realize that even your gripes are trivial since you won't even share them. Here, let me break some seriously ground-breaking news to you.....are you ready...Unix is dead and Linux is not Unix. Linux has surpassed Unix in every way, and much of that work has come from companies like Red Hat that have matured and enhanced it to where it can and does run in mission critical environments.

Yeah but see, you don't understand. Here are the fundamental reasons why Red Hat is the devil, as seen on various forums. I'm not making up any of them:

1. RH is evil because it's a corporation. Open Source ought to be anticapitalist.
2. RH is evil because it employs people to work full time on FOSS software. Only spare time hobbyist coders should be allowed to touch it.
3. RH is evil because systemd/wayland/dbus/not-unix. Linux must not be allowed to innovate or break ranks with Unices. Any use case should be addressed exclusively using vigrepsedawk, or not at all.
4. RH is evil because it makes Linux easy to use and not l33t enough.
5. RH is evil because it makes it harder for me to get my crappy buggy minimal suckless window manager to be taken seriously
6. RH is evil because reasons.

basement open source

Bwahaha! I hadn't heard this one in all the years I've been doing Linux. Good one!

Redhat on Gnome blog?

That actually makes complete sense in terms of the cancel culture on those communities.

Not really, OpenSource and Capitalism are okay, the problem with RedHat is how much influence they have in opensource projects. They have too much power in certain groups... like Gnome.

Same goes for Microsoft/Redhat/Intel on Linux.

The only reason they have so much influence in some areas is because they provide most of, if not all the funding. Put money on the table (or equivalent in contributions or in kind) and you will have lots of influence too.
