So whats a professionally maintained Linux distro that's

>>59913479
centos

RHEL?

>>59913479
redhat and therefore to a lesser extent fedora, ubuntu, opensuse

>>59913479
RHEL, but Fedora is just as good, if not better.

Isn't ubuntu supported by canonical?

Then why is it so shit.

>>59914017
Upboated.

Fedora is the best of all worlds - relatively cutting edge and having Red Hat's resources and money behind it.

The six month cadence, while rolling within these releases, is also a good tradeoff.

>>59914066
ironically, it used to be better when they were more community oriented

>>59914017
>>59914100
>beta testing for free

>>59914066
It isn't. It does what it sets out to do and makes an easily accessible linux to make switching over from windows easier. It isn't the best for an experienced user, but that doesn't make it shit. It serves the purpose it was designed for.

The main Linux distros that are backed by companies are

RHEL which has other distros which are closely related to this work
see more at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_derivatives
Also Red Hat provides a lot of work to develop Fedora.
Also in addition to being backed by Redhat's work, Scientific Linux is backed by research labs including places like Fermi lab and CERN.
Some of the other derivatives of RedHat's work include Oracle Enterprise Linux.
Also there are other appliance distros derived from Redhat's work which are commercially sponsored like Amazon and Google and VMware.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian_family#Debian-based
The Debian family of distros are supported by companies such as Canotical which works on Ubuntu and Offensive Security works on Kali Linux.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_distribution
>There are commercially backed distributions, such as Fedora (Red Hat), openSUSE (SUSE) and Ubuntu (Canonical Ltd.), and entirely community-driven distributions, such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux,
is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.
Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component
of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell
utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day,
without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU
which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are
not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a
part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system
that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run.
The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself;
it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is
normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system
is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux"
distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

>>59914270
I'm terribly sorry for interjecting another moment, but what I just told you is GNU/Linux is, in fact, just Linux, or as I've just now taken to calling it, Just Linux. Linux apparently does happen to be a whole operating system unto itself and comprises a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Most computer users who run the entire Linux operating system every day already realize it. Through a peculiar turn of events, I was misled into calling the system "GNU/Linux", and until now, I was unaware that it is basically the Linux system, developed by the Linux project.

There really isn't a GNU/Linux, and I really wasn't using it; it is an extraneous misrepresentation of the system that's being used. Linux is the operating system: the entire system made useful by its included corelibs, shell utilities, and other vital system components. The kernel is already an integral part of the Linux operating system, never confined useless by itself; it functions coherently within the context of the complete Linux operating system. Linux is never used in combination with GNU accessories: the whole system is basically Linux without any GNU added, or Just Linux. All the so-called "GNU/Linux" distributions are really distributions of Linux.

>>59921195
it's a community version that is fully sponsored by RedHat you fucking retard.

it's pretty much RHEL but you can't make support tickets on their site.

Who is retard here?

>>59921269
you?

community just means you can't issue support tickets to redhat.

it's literally all the same source tree, sans the red hat EL branding. it's literally even owned, as in sponsored by red hat nowadays and has paid maintainers just like EL.

Here we go again.

Look at this:
https://portingdb-encukou.rhcloud.com/howto/
Fedora is literally asking for volunteers, fucking hippies.

>>59921349
well if your definition is that way then none are supported unless you purchase a support license from someone. Not even Enterprise Linux comes with support unless you pay a fuckspensive license for it; for instance you can get a dev license for EL but it's basically as supported as fucking CentOS.

>>59921349
>In the trash it goes.
Fuck you, buy an OS from red hat.

>>59913479
none of them.

every linux distro is running some FOSS licensed software that is built and maintained by community members.

even a completely nonfree userspace built on top of linux could meet your criteria.

Linux is literally full of community code with community maintainers for whole modules and subsystems.
