For example Red Hat Enterprise Linux or SUSE Enterprise Linux.

I’m considering switching to RHEL, to get a “professional” Linux, since it’s free if you register an account, but is it worth it?
Is the experience very different from Fedora?

    These days, you also have the options of Flatpaks and Distrobox. Do not nearly as big a problem as previously. No need to build from source.

    I mean, for most things, why even rely on EPEL when you can install something like Arch in Distrobox. A super stable base with totally up to date apps is a great combination.

      Please don’t. Ask your security staff, ask your build/release staff. See if they know why validation is important. If they do, you learn to avoid flatpakSnapPypNpm dreck. If they don’t know, then you learn about them as well.
