I am a bit confused about how this doesn't effect Fedora Linux but does effect AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, EuroLinux, and Oracle Unbreakable Linux.

Fedora is upstream from RHEL. Everything else you named is downstream from RHEL

[–] breadsmasher@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

As I understand it, Fedora is upstream of RHEL, but the distros you have listed are downstream of RHEL

ie Rocky is built from RHEL sources which are built from Fedora sources.

Its likely more nuanced than that, but thats my basic understanding

As far as I know Fedora is fully detached from RHEL and is its own independent distro, most others still rely on RHEL as their upstream.
