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.
for you nothing will happen; Fedora is seen as upstream from RHEL and for desktop use that isn’t something that should concern you.
for most people it is going to be a good desktop distro built on next generation technologies (wayland and pipewire for example), anything that happens under the hood should not affect your desktop.
Fedora also has a server edition that works perfectly fine if you are not trying to re-sell it to large companies that need all the compliance BS that RHEL has.
