I see a lot of posts about Redhat for putting their code base behind a paywall. I’ve only been using Linux as my main desktop OS for a couple of years now. Someone recommended Fedora at the time, and I’ve been happy with it. I had previously tried PopOS, Mint, and Ubuntu, but none of them convinced me to switch from Windows full time until I tried again with Fedora.
How will what Redhat is doing affect Fedora for the home user? Should I start considering something else?
Edit: thanks for all of the responses! Sticking with fedora for now it is.
Red hat is based off fedora, so nothing will change with fedora!
Many who won’t bother with RHEL any more will not package their third party applications for any RPM based distro.
Most RPMs for third party applications are already packaged specifically for Fedora rather than RHEL.
I would say that depends on desktop vs. server software.
