Doesn’t this basically straight up kill distributions like Oracle Linux, Rocky Linux, Alma Linux etc.?

You keep recommending the FOSS umbrella, but at least on Reddit the selfhosted/homeserver/homelab/datahoarder subs are interesting, while the FOSS reddit tends to be so boring I unsubscribed a long time ago.

The interest there seems to trend more in the direction of license and convincing people, with an undercurrent of “where can I find a carbon copy of this expensive program for free”. My interest is in resource-efficient infrastructure, so I don’t see a lot of overlap.
