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.

    Isn’t the rawhide -> branched -> stable process similar?

    Rawhide is also rolling with daily updates, it gets frozen before a release (branched) and tested, and then branched is released as stable.

    TW is rolling, it gets frozen before a release and tested, and then that snapshot is released.

    They’re both using OpenQA to run automated tests before releasing the snapshot for the day.

    Leap uses SUSE Enterprise binaries now, it’s part of the closing the gap they mentioned towards the end and it did end up implemented in SP3.

    Nice, that’s good to know.

    The package hub is community packages from openSUSE. SUSE and openSUSE have a very different and much more collaborative process.

    Yeah, I’m starting to get that. It looks really nice for both corporate and personal interests.
