The first time I installed Fedora after like a decade I updated to new minor version -> sudo reboot because I was already in the terminal -> reinstalled because it wouldn't boot anymore

Regarding Vivaldi: Why isn’t Vivaldi browser open-source?
To save anyone else from losing time on this bullshit:
They're scared of their FOSS fork being forked. The rest of the article is just an attempt to make them sympathetic, and muddy the waters. That's why GPL > BSD
A new project based on our code might implement features that are fundamentally in opposition to our ethics (e.g., damaging to privacy, human rights or to the environment). Even though we would not be associated with the project in any way, it can deeply affect how people see Vivaldi (and how we see ourselves), damaging a reputation we have taken pains to earn.
Fuck off
stable
without issues

Also, can't you just delete posts and comments like on Reddit?
Not really AFAIK. Your comment is spread across many instances, and they're not required to follow your deletion request.
Suse would get more hate if they stopped working with opensuse.
And that doesn't extend to Fedora and free RHEL licences? Or all of the FOSS projects redhat is funding and contributing to? No demerits for Suse helping MS pressure the entire Linux community for over a decade?
Canonical provides their stuff publicly, except for long term support after five years, but that decision does get hate.
You can still get the redhat source code with the free licence, GPL ensures that. You just can't act like Oracle, reskin RHEL, and sell enterprise support for it.
Meanwhile there are businesses that literally don't release any of their improvements to FOSS software because it's running on their servers and so they don't have to. Now that really goes against the core ideology of GPL 2 which is: "I give you my code, you give me your changes".
Publicly traded companies almost always make shitty capitalist decisions. Now, remember that canonical sold user data to Amazon, played ads in the terminal, and that their IPO is still in the works.
No hate for canonical or suse, just redhat?
Don't forget that Ubuntu was the first distro to both sell user data to Amazon, and show you ads in the terminal. But it seems like everyone forgets about it as soon as canonical goes "whoops, our bad, we didn't think you'd mind, it's opt in/out now".
On top of that I've seen allegations that they're illegally collecting data from Azure Ubuntu users to send them spam about Ubuntu enterprise.

Bossmang, I know that we're paying more for RHEL licences than for the entire IT department, but if we switch to Arch we'll cut down the costs significantly.

Such distro, much hopping
Wait for Arch to slowly grind away at your sanity. One day you will realise that stability is pretty damn important, and the hopping will start once again.
Refer to the xkcd. There's never going to be a single universal standard to unite them all and in light bind them. The best you're going to get is improved support and integration.
Ever heard of Mojang?
