I think it is fair to say that Red Hat devs hate Docker devs. Early in the Docker days, Red Hat submitted multiple patches to Docker that fixed legitimate issues. Docker rejected[0] most of them.

After that, Red Had basically said, "screw you guys, I'm going to build my own container engine with blackjack and hookers!" and Podman, Skopeo, Buildah, etc. popped up.

First: it is ibm. Second: what is wrong with Canonical that they seem hellbent on destroying IBM? What is wrong with Torvalds that he seems hellbent on destroying Sun Microsystems, and IBM?

Torvalds wanted a UNIX that ran on his 386 PC and Sun wasn't going to ever offer that.

Canonical doesn't want to destroy IBM/Red Hat they want to compete with the same business model by selling support contracts.

Red Hat doesn't seem to want to compete with Docker using the same business model, just give it all away for free and then ... what?

Sun did end up releasing Solaris for x86 in 1993, a couple years after Linus' first post to comp.os.minix.

Solaris x86 was a paid product though.

Linus apparently did not know about BSD, which goes back to ~1989.

On ramp into OpenShift since it uses podman underneath. Also, unlike Docker, Red Hat's revenue streams are extremely diversified, so they can afford to do this
