Genuine question: how did the IBM acquisitions of Red Hat and HashiCorp turn out?

For Red Hat, there's no longer an official "public" distribution of RHEL, but apart from that they seemingly have been left alone and able to continue to develop their own products. But that's only my POV as a user of OSS Red Hat products at home and of RHEL and OpenShift at work.

Gnome has stagnated significantly.

GTK is still alive. It seems like Cosmic desktop with GTK apps will be a reasonable path forward. Of course there's KDE and QT, but I mean as an alternative to those.

Cosmic isn't there yet. I don't use GNOME but at least it works.
