I don’t feel very supported by their killing off CentOS and cutting promised support down from many years to the end of the year rather suddenly… Forgive me if I don’t trust them with much of anything after that

Fair enough. But you’re speaking about policy and politics, I’m speaking about day-to-day hardware and software support/compatibility and how well it works with a wide range of hardware. I’m speaking about the OS itself; it just works with for me, without any hassles.
They literally cut promised support pulling the rug out from under many people and businesses that put their trust in that support. Not sure how that doesn’t count as “day to day software support”. Being able to trust that their word will be honored and I’ll not be forced to scramble to replace their os is kind of important and losing that trust understandably costs that trust pretty much across the board, at least for me
I point you towards Fedora. Its indirectly backed by IBM.
From the article…
For me, being backed by IBM isn’t exactly a selling point… Not as bad as backed by Oracle, mind you
Granted, corporate shenanigans are never fun to deal with. But say what you may, they know how to support what they sell, hardware and software.
