The hardest person to convert is a "power user". I guess you should let Red Hat and SUSE know their main product is a project. Oh and Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc...

You heard what he said he installed every distro at once as a joke, what a project. Then he paid Steve jobs $3k to step on his balls.

Can regular users even use Red Hat anymore? Fedora Core is the open source spinoff. I loved using Red Hat in the 90s and I never warmed up to Fedora Core.

Fedora Core hasn't been a thing in decades, it's just Fedora or the Fedora Project now. CentOS Stream is ABI compatible with RHEL If you create a free Red Hat Developer account you can get 16 free RHEL licenses. So, yes you very much can run RHEL.

Edit: If you or anyone else is interested https://developers.redhat.com/articles/faqs-no-cost-red-hat-enterprise-linux

Oh man, if you haven't used linux is that long it's changed drastically (for the better) since then.

A lot of tech has gotten better.

I mean, except Windows. Obviously.

Or I should say Microsoft. I booted up my Xbox yesterday to play Cyberpunk and was greeted with a full-screen ad for Borderlands 4.
