What's new in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 Beta

Redhat finally has link time optimization during compiling. (The hobbyist distro's have had this for how long?)
More apps have moved over to LLVM/Clang
And Python 2 is officially gone from Redhat. (I suspect this will kill further Python2 development just about everywhere).

Made a typo in the title of this thread, I see no way to edit it. But it should be redhat 9.

You can edit the thread and then change the title to 9.

Didn't know that, thnx.

It should probably be "Red Hat ...", if you're really feeling like editing the title.

It should probably by "Red Hat Enterprise Linux ..." since Red Hat Linux 9 released 31 March 2003.

But I knew what you meant! LOL

LOL Computers have killed millions and millions of jobs. If a computer can do the job better, that's a good reason to use a computer. Not using a computer just to keep someone employed is pure silliness, so long as the computer does as good or better than the meatsack that used to do the job. If anything, it means the human can learn new skills and get a better job.

Eventually, we're gonna enter the post-scarcity world (or we're going to extinct ourselves before we get there). We might as well start preparing for that now. We will have a UBI, among other things.

We are getting a little off-track here
But even so Microsoft and Canonical do have strategic partnerships.
Ubuntu is the "default" Linux distro in Azure (owned by Microsoft)
The "default" WSL is based on Ubuntu.

Canonical: A partnership that delivers the best and most secure open source for customers

“Before this partnership we would typically only passively engage with users who consume our products and services. But this co-sell model allows us to jointly sell both Canonical and Microsoft solutions, which is helping us connect to many more enterprises and sales cycles – and that is certain...

Oracle is not OK because they screw you over with licensing.
