They haven’t made anything. It’s just a proposal right now. Instead of constructively sharing feedback about the default state, people are spouting hyperbole like “Red Hat is Windows”.
Can we all just pretend Red Hat and its derivatives/relatives no longer exist? It’s clear that the leadership behind these projects don’t care about open source anymore. There are plenty of options for Linux operating systems that actually care about user freedom, privacy, and openness. Anything with Red Hat backing it no longer gets to claim they support any of these.
Install Debian, install Arch. If you must, install Ubuntu (though they’re not much better these days). Anything but Red Hat.
RHEL is the core IT/SysAdmin crowd. Anyone looking to get into this career space gets a copy of The Linux Bible and runs Fedora to get started. A lot of the Linux core functionality comes from, and is maintained by RH. This is not just a desktop choice for users. If you really want to get to a kernel hacking type of understanding of Linux RHEL documentation is a great baseline where there is info that does not exist in any other source except reading the source code.
