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-subscription-now-available/

Odd follow up to this.

While doing that T-420, I also performed the upgrade on my daily laptop. Although what I failed to notice was that I jumped directly from 23 => 25, skipping 24. D'oh!

Thankfully, the transition went very well from my perspective. Been running the last whole week without issues. This is with third-party repos like RPM Fusion, Dropbox, Chrome, Adobe, and some Fedora COPR repos as well.

Your millage may very, but it interesting to see the result in my case.

I just followed the directions here
<https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DNF_system_upgrade> to upgrade from 24
to 25. Within 20 minutes, I had a flawlessly working system. I'm very
impressed.

I have a little do nothing arm system stashed away that I only interact
with remotely.

https://linux-sunxi.org/Mele_A1000
Allwinner A10 single core with 512MB of RAM.

I did the initial install on Fedora 23, previously upgraded this way to
24, and just yesterday to 25. All remotely, rebooting without hiccup.

I've also done the 23 => 24 Jump on a T-420 thinkpad I own. And will
likely do the 24 => 25 jump after posting this.
