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.

I know pretty much everyone knows this but distros like Alma and Rocky give you a pretty much identical experience to RHEL for free.
And RHEL itself is free for individuals.
RHEL is (was) great, but the 'free' thing is an absolute annoyance to renew periodically and - importantly - the subscription crap is needless hassle. I use Rocky for the dev stuff and RHEL when it's prod customer stuff. That spreads out the infrastructure plan to be 1. everything working, and then 2. glue in the subscription bullshit.
