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.

    RHEL is downstream from CentOS Stream which is downstream from Fedora. People are complaining that the changes RHEL makes from CentOS Stream (and thus Fedora) are not public. There is no direct effect on Fedora.

    That said some will still not be using Fedora bc they disagree with the ethics of Red-Hat’s decision (although I’m surprised they didn’t have an issue with Red-Hat before)
