I see a lot of posts about Redhat for putting their code base behind a paywall. I’ve only been using Linux as my main desktop OS for a couple of years now. Someone recommended Fedora at the time, and I’ve been happy with it. I had previously tried PopOS, Mint, and Ubuntu, but none of them convinced me to switch from Windows full time until I tried again with Fedora.

How will what Redhat is doing affect Fedora for the home user? Should I start considering something else?

Edit: thanks for all of the responses! Sticking with fedora for now it is.

    Its code base will remain open and accessible

    This is actually the key subject. However…

    Only if you find Fedora’s hat no longer fits.

    This will only be accelerated by maintainers and developers voicing their intent of just not packaging to any RPM distro.
