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.
Has something recently changed? Fedora has always been the fully open source upstream to RHEL but I’m not aware of any recent changes to their model.
I’m fine with an open source company keeping some of their sauce secret. Their contributions to open source for decades are a net gain for the community.
But yeah fedora is the only other bleeding edge distro I would ever use besides arch. Definitely still trustworthy as far as I know
I think there is just a fear that fedora will change at some point.
