I used it all the time for test work before it went to a red hat production environment.
You're right, its not really a consooomer os. It was a barebones, no horseshit, rock solid, free version of Red hat (without support).
A whole bunch of people will need to rework their infrastructure so a production environment doesn't go down because of some faggot wrote a shit patch and wrecks your system.
Is Debian Stable a viable alternative? or Slackware?
Prob neither. Debian(Ubuntu) users a different file structure and different commands than Redhat. My world needs near identical setups for instructions and auditing. Lots of software is only written for one or the other too.
You can definitely use them, but you'll have to rework everything
Slackware seems too stripped down
This is a huge monkey wrench because ibm is a bunch of faggots
Edit: I have no idea what to actually recommend right now, but I need to figure it out quick
Guess we'll need to see what Rocky Linux does then. Wasn't aware it was such an issue, but it makes sense when you think about freelance software development testbeds. I wonder if Fedora proper will step up in the future?
