Google believes that Red Hat's RHEL 6 Enterprise release is outdated, announcing that Google Chrome will no longer provide updates for RHEL 6. Red Hat's EMEA Evangelist Jan Wildeboer posted a message () on Google +, showing that "because your operating system is outdated, Google Chrome is no longer updated ".

Red Hat Enterprise releases will only be updated once in a few years for long-term stability. Wildeboer believes that Google forces users to switch to other browsers.

 

Google, one of the leading open source and Linux companies, has declared Red Hat's RHEL 6 as obsolete. jan Wildeboer, a Red Hat evangelist, has found that Google Chrome won't be updated on RHEL 6 anymore.

Google shows a notification which says, "Google Chrome is no longer updating because your operating system is obsolete"

RHEL 6 was released at the end of 2010; the next version of RHEL, version 7, will be released this year. so the users of the latest version of RHEL can't use Google Chrome anymore.

Wildeboer writes on his Google + page:

Why does Google put users of (at least) Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 at risk by stopping updates for Chrome? While continuing to support Windows XP?

It is surprising as even Windowx XP which is reaching end of life is well supported by Google and GNU/Linux distributions like Ubuntu 10.04 are also well supported.

Wildeboer further writes:

We release new stable versions of RHEL every 2-3 years. the API/ABI stability is what sets it apart from community distros. customers need long term stability. google knows (and uses) that itself internally. by cutting the support of enterprise distributions they simply tell me to move elsewhere. that's not a very encouraging thing.

We have reached out to Google and awaiting their response.
