Linux will be fine, people who used RHEL can just moved to cloud and/or Amazon linux or Canonical, whatever that suits them.

The changes could even be by the same people, I'm sure many from RH will not like IBM culture.

Red Hat heavily supports OSS projects used on their distributions. No other Linux companies contributes so much. (SuSE would be second, Hey Amazon?)

Last I heard Amazon itself was struggling with migrating from RHEL to Amazon Linux.

RedHat makes much more then just a Linux Distribution, for my part i fear for Ceph.

This is one of the huge selling points for RH IMHO: Since they are open source if the vendor dies the product doesn't. Ceph is an amazing product with some really big customers, it wouldn't go down with the ship.

That said, Red Hat is doing well and I don't see them dying.

Disclaimer: I work for RH but opinions are my own
