Here’s How Powerful IBM Really Is

Do you remember IBM? Most of us have completely forgotten about IBM as they’ve more or less disappeared into the background after getting destroyed in the personal computer market. As such, you would assume that IBM is standing on their last legs just trying to make things work but they’re actually making quite an unexpected comeback with their acquisition of RedHat. RedHat probably also sounds like a completely foreign company that’s irrelevant, but they actually play a critical role in server infrastructure. You see, all of the world’s servers don’t run Windows or MacOS, they actually run a version of Linux mostly from a company called RedHat. This might be confusing because Linux is free and open source which is true, but where RedHat comes into play is their first-class support to minimize downtime and maximize the efficiency of massive server rooms. This has made Red Hat a major background giant for years until IBM bought the entire company for $34 billion in 2019. This video explains how RedHat managed to dominate the entire server world and the future of RedHat under IBM’s leadership.

1) Linux Mint and Fedora definitely aren't sever distros, they are the total opposite 2) IBM bought Red Hat mainly for Openshift, which they hoped will become the de facto solution for enterprise kubernetes (it didn't) 3) Google and Amazon most probably do not use RHEL, they have their own distros 4) RH recently kind of made the source code of RHEL closed source, causing a big drama in OSS community. They made that move probably because OCP doesn't make as much money as expected and they want to force the users that use free alternatives such as Rocky or Alma to pay for a subscription.

[@javierandreiotaku]

​@@KingKevin108linux mind and fedora are distros for consumers, not for the enterprise market. In the enterprise market you want old packages, a slow update cycle and 24/7 support. On the consumer side, you want your system and your programs to update faster and normally, nobody pays for the 24/7 support that Redhat have

[@FengLengshun]

​@@KingKevin108distribution is essentially a "ready-to-use" operating system. Linux is a lot like IKEA, you can mix and match to build an OS with various component, defaults, and interfaces. Mint is a variant based on Ubuntu, which is a variant based on Debian. Mint is mainly intended for desktop user - a core change they do is removing the Snap apps which is a way of installing apps that's good for servers but lags behind the Flatpak method for desktop GUI apps. Fedora however is upstream of CentOS which is upstream of Red Hat Enterprise Linux or RHEL. Fedora is quite community driven, though Red Hat has an at-arms-length control of the project. Essentially, they do their own things, but RH can influence them, and ultimately things that are tested on Fedora can make it to CentOS, which can eventually make it to RHEL that requires much more stability given that each versions are expected to habe 8 years or so of long-term service life.

IBM is now ranked 80th in market cap. It's interesting to see how they can wield power in any market.

[@ragingcamel]

Good point. I think market cap only measures half of the equation - how much shareholders value a company's stock. The other half is in what the actual product can do. It seems that with public cloud seemingly losing steam (well not really) because of unforeseen costs, most companies will likely settle for hybrid cloud. Not the most exciting market segment, but that's where companies will still spend their top dollars.

To quote them: "Despite what’s currently being said about Red Hat, we make our hard work readily accessible to non-customers. Red Hat uses and will always use an open source development model. When we find a bug or write a feature, we contribute our code upstream." According to the June 26th RedHat website press post I quoted from above they have a CENTOS stream git repository which is where they publish the open source modifications to RHEL. They link to this repository in said post as well.@@LogicallyAnswered

[@FengLengshun]

​@@kevalan1042it's not quite close-sourced. Basically, you can still obtain the codes through their portal, but doing more with it is against their TOS which would allow them to revoke your license. Essentially, it passes the bare minimum of GPL in that you can obtain the source and then modify it... but they can essentially retaliate and terminate your license (if not outright sue for using it if you're big like Oracle). CentOS is still open-source and where they want collaboration to happen. It's just that they know people only pay for one RHEL license and shuffle it around as well as having other companies borrow their work on RHEL, and they don't want that. It's against the spirit of OSS but it's technically within the bounds of the license and most users don't need RHEL beyond the free 20 license they gave to hundreds of thekr SKUs, so they really can either use RHEL, pay if they need more licenses, use CentOS or Fedora, or outright use other distro like Debian.

Linux Mint and Fedora are community based distros, though Fedora is very much tied to Red Hat (Fedora is used as a basis for CentOS Stream which is then used as a basis for Red Hat) I think as standalone enterprise Linux distros it is just Ubuntu, Suse and Red Hat. Where as far as I know most others are based of Red Hat. But with Red Hat no longer having its source code publicly available it will be interesting if they can keep being bug for bug compatible with Red Hat.

Enterprise is Redhat and probably Suse

[@richardbennett4365]

It was not a secret at all! IBM fully in the open purchased Red Hat after Red Hat agreed to be acquired by that company. The title is wrong.

[@FengLengshun]

Yeah, Red Hat is BIG. Quite a lot of the technology used in the Linux stack, or even the code in the kernel itself, comes from Red Hat. And that's why they're tolerated when they're definitely goint against the spirit of the open-source community in an attempt to stifle Oracle, SUSE, and Canonical. It is to the point that Oracle, SUSE, and a few others have banded to create an org that's basically "Enterprise Linux that isn't RHEL." I think there's a genuine threat there and that RedHat have pushed the community and users to the farthest they can be pushed for the next 5 years before some real revolt occurs. The matter is that no one else have the same level of certification, compliance, and support as Red Hat, and most business are already on Red Hat of some form and that it's more of a hassle to migrate outside of the family than to fork out cash or use the free RH CentOS upstream. But... many home, hobbyist, and casual users are moving to Debian and that's a real threat because people tend to bring what they use at home to work if they could help it.

Also note that some fixes are backported to Stable especially if security related.

CentOS does no longer exist, it got terminated and is now a rolling release unstable distro, IBM / RedHat did this in order to force customers to pay big bucks for RHEL instead, but nobody is using that. Rocky? Alma? Maybe, it is the replacement for what CentOS used to be, but the shift to Debian DEB package system based distros world wide has started many years ago and RedHat based RPM has less and less used over the last years. The reason for that is that apt / DPKG is just more advanced and has allowed direct installs from the internet more than 15 years ago. Also, RHEL used to be the only really enterprise grade stable Linux distro long ago. Now most distros are like that and they are incredibly secure and stable, 100% enterprise grade, so it does not pay to pay for RHEL anymore.

It is funny how I read 4 years ago how IBM bought some company for 34 billion and no one seem to care and this thought come to me every couple months back to my mind, I dont know way.

red hat is no longer one of the popular OS in Linus space, people nowadays are more comfortable using lower cost alternatives such as Ubuntu or centOS, especially on public cloud environments where the support of OS is not an issue no matter which OS you use. IBM’s decision acquiring Redhat is prove wrong and IBM is no longer a tech giant any more.

If you want to say that IBM is powerful you need data, just saying that "corporate prefer red hat" means nothing, show me the data or it's just a baseless opinion, and as it's glorifying IBM, is probably wrong...those who needed to work on IBM software will understand...

IBM and Lenovo are Apex in Server Market.

1:18 Mint is not for servers and Fedora is developed by RedHat. Better examples are SLES (by SUSE), Oracle Linux and CentOS

I love your videos. But I think your channel has grown so much it feels weird seeing your face in videos. I almost stopped watching because of this, but it still cringes me. maybe i'm just resistant to change 😅

Groan. "Linux is an operating system". False.
