One of the benefits of using Red Hat is that they guarantee that the ABI will be stable for a number of years (about 10). If you're a small business, and you can't afford a lot of time to be fixing software, especially when breakage comes in security updates (and we really, really want people to apply security updates), then having a stable ABI is beneficial.
If you're a hobbyist, or you're in the business of IT support, these aren't really critical, and it's part of the learning experience to find that something is broken and learning how to fix it. Both approaches are valuable in different contexts. On Wed, Mar 3, 2021 at 4:51 AM Blake McBride <[email protected]> wrote: > > I've been using Linux nearly exclusively for over 15 years.
