I actually tried Alma as a desktop a while back. Lots of coil whine. Fedora -1 version has been the mint zone for me lately. Still get patches and the kernel version I need for my hardware without as many bugs. And when I get newish hardware, latest Fedora typically works the best. They've done some amazing work. Obviously, production server environments are a whole other world. I'd probably use Fedora for my own stuff though.

I was a big centos user (had to for cloud stuff), then switched to rocky but didn't like it much, and now I've been on Fedora 24/7 since 36 I think. For desktops, all but my main workstation (nvidia) are on latest fedora kde and it's been about a year now with no issues on "older" hardware. Wayland + nvidia + old hardware do not mix well in my recent experience. Ava gave me some tips on switching over to RHEL cheaply (or free) so that's probably the next move, but I wanted to see how well Alma does.

Alma was b4b but I think they changed that after RHEL changed the source code requirements or whatever.
