    I don’t work much with Linux systems these days, but I would vote for $ sudo over #. Two reasons:

    1. It’s easy to overlook the prompt. That part is basically “some characters before the actual command”, so I don’t normally pay attention to it.
    2. # is also used for comments. I think it would be confusing to use the same character for two wildly different things.



  • Is Red Hat trying to kill downstream clones?

    We cannot speak to Red Hat’s intentions, and can only point to the things they have said publicly. We have had an incredible working relationship with Red Hat through the life of AlmaLinux OS and we hope to see that continue.

    The answer is “yes”. IBM is being IBM. They bought CentOS and hoped that would be the end of it, but then Rocky and Alma appeared. I don’t know why they didn’t foresee this happening.
