Red Hat / Fedora drama?
(lemmy.ml)
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.

Red-Hat still have an interest to keep it alive, so I still recommend Fedora to people.
It's definitely not in the open-source spirit, but as long as the interest exists, it still a great distro for both newbies and advanced users.
I've found the distro that match my needs, so I won't use Fedora, for that reason.
Fedora carefully only ships open source software and codecs in their repos, much better open source spirit than most other distros
