      I was invited to a user group where oracle Linux was trying to get more adopters. The coolest thing they had was the ability to update a kernel driver while it was running. In place. Without downtime.

      I asked them if they planned on pushing this improvement to the kernel devs and they just gave me a blank face.

      Told me everything I needed to know about Oracle Linux. I promptly formatted the thumb drive they gave me for free.

        All of our testing cells at work run Oracle!
        I don’t know much about it though.

      They actually have an oracle cloud too. It’s used by some companies… And it’s awful.

        It’s used by Tony fucking Stark.

        I mean, I can suspend disbelief that he is Iron Man and has futuristic fights with aliens

        But I cannot believe that same man uses fucking Oracle Cloud.
