What do you mean with other way around?

@Xttweaponttx
Yeah i agree. The ad stuff is really bad. Having ads in the browser is enough. I don't want it in my OS. But even all the way back in Windows 7 some people busted Windows in "calling home" when something was entered in the search field in the Start menu. This was caught using the ZoneAlarm firewall.

@tourist
😅 Time is critical in such situation

@tourist im sorry to hear :(

did you manage to recover it?

@ahal yes true :D

@Shareni alma started to take sources from centos stream. so yeah upstream in a way.

@GnomeComedy ansible sounds cool. i don't know anything about it, but it seems like this is a bit of the same as i'm doing with Dockerfiles for my Fedora Kinoite. building my own custom OS image with github actions and then every 3rd day the new image gets pulled by my pc from the cloud.

@mfat and with Distrobox containers.

@Shareni
With bootleg RHELs you mean Alma and Rocky?

@sepiroth154
Indeed. 😄 You're the first to catch it 😄

@Pantherina
There is a free subscription for RHEL for individuals.

And I think it's less of an issue nowadays with old packages since we have extra layers such as podman containers over distrobox, flatpak, snap, Nix etc.
Then you can have a solid base OS with less solid layers on top where things are allowed to break but don't mess with the rest of the system. I use Fedora Kinoite as my base for this exact reason.

Good answer
