If you have any opinion or personal experience to share

thanks in advance



RHEL is what most 3rd party (closed source) companies
support. While in general, drivers and software and such
from those companies sort of run with Fedora variants, there
is no support.

So you want to use RHEL in cases where you are using
other commercial (closed, proprietary) devices and
software.

Typically a home user does not need RHEL. However a
company may have to use RHEL just so they can receive
support.

Also, Red Hat does offer their own support for their
Linux as well. Thus if you want automatic patch updates
or some of their "ease of use" features that require
a support contract, you'd want RHEL as well.

Fedora is a community testing ground for new ideas
which may or may not make it into future versions of
RHEL.
