| From: Marc Lijour via talk <talk@gtalug.org> | Is it better to have RHEL instead of Fedora as a regular desktop if you're a | dev? | Red Hat is giving out free (as in beer) versions for devs: | https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2016/03/31/no-cost-rhel-developer-subscri... I imagine that I'd be happier with free/libre CentOS rather than free-beer RHEL. CentOS is a bit slower with updates. It depends what you value. If you are deploying on RHEL, you need to test on RHEL. But Fedora has more creature comforts and moves more quickly. I use CentOS for servers and Fedora for my own desktop. Sometimes I use Ubuntu LTS for other people's desktops. But I'm not a conventional developer so I don't feel the same forces.
