IBM to acquire Red Hat
https://www.cnbc.com/2018/10/28/ibm-is-reportedly-nearing-deal-to-acquire-red-hat.html
Update as of 2018 IBM is subjected to take over Fedora Project due to the Red Hat Merger. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:640:C600:8270:A563:D5B6:732C:339A (talk)
The IBM acquisition of Red Hat is complete, and Fedora Project has announced that the acquisition does not change anything about the relationship between Red Hat (which remains a distinct company, though owned by IBM) and the Fedora Project. So for now I'd say it has no notable impact on Fedora. Lunasspecto (talk) 20:24, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

Linus and Fedora
While it is factually true that Linus uses Fedora the sentence misses context. Linus said he is not a distribution or MIS person, he is not interested in maintaining Linux machines. He says is a "technical person" because he wrote the kernel but that is different. He says once he learns a distribution he sticks with it so he can get on with life ie. writing kernels. It is thought he chose Fedora because of its support for PowerPC. In short, Linus's decision to use Fedora is somewhat random and not particularly notable when given proper context. It is like a sports star who drives a certain model car is purely promotional, not because the sports star is an expert on cars. The question is do we promote Fedora this way, and if so, do we include text and sources that place it into proper context. -- GreenC 17:42, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
