From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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?

Nobody cares when someone tries to preemptively qualify incoming advice. It's an open forum. Everyone will just ignore your criteria because you admittedly don't know much about this. If you gave us a reason that didn't vibe as "I think I know more than I do" I bet people would consider not chiming in.

What a normal person does is simple: just ignore the advice that they don't value.
