Overall Satisfaction with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

main operating system for our development environment. Our main problem currently is the fact we are on an air gapped network and it is complicated to find resources and solutions for our problems. Our goal is to eventually expand all of the development environments we are on to be RHEL9.

Pros and Cons

Pros

File location control
security
command line interface

Cons

air gapped networks
air gapped solutions
switching major OS upgrades breaks a lot of things

Return on Investment

Major updates on air gapped systems have caused issue in the past

Usability

Syntax is relatively hard or foreign to others. The overall aspect of the system is a learning curve coming from windows.

Alternatives Considered

Fedora Linux and Rocky Linux

I think RHEL excels in keeping the OS up to date vs the others.

Likelihood to Recommend

Red Hat to me, once you learn it is very simplistic and easy to use. It provides many capabilities that we look for versus windows OS. We love the command line interface and the ability to store everything in a file structure. A negative for us if definitely the learning curve it takes to learn RHEL.
