DevOpsDays Portland, 2026: Brendan, Jim, Sriram, Jonathan, & Auke - New Linuxes Panel

Brendan Conoboy, Jim Perrin, Sriram Ramkrishna, Jonathan Wright, & Auke Kok The first Linux distribution was created more than a third of a century ago. Thousands have followed, and hundreds are actively maintained to this day. Each distribution has a reason for being, a problem that it solves or a way of doing things that differs from the rest. Join a panel where leads from 4 different Linux distributions (Microsoft Linux, Talos Linux, Alma Linux, and Bluefin/GnomeOS) share what their distribution is for and answer your questions so you can find out if it's for you, too.
