Enterprise Linux on desktop?

Anyone using enterprise Linux on their desktop such as RHEL, Alma, Rocky, CentOS etc.?

I'm curious if it's easy to use for this purpose or if the older packages are a pain.

Hmm ... I'm definitely not going to use RHEL for anything I'm not explicitly ordered to by my employer, but the thought of using Ansible or similar to set up my home system is interesting... I may have to give that a try, and I've got a new system I'm building

You can also use Ansible with just about anything, as long as you can connect to it over SSH or with a REST API. You don't have to use RHEL, specifically. I use it for """declarative""" package management on my Arch system.

Oh yeah, I know that part... Sorry, I can see how that could look like I think that's a RHEL specific feature

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.
