Not really. It is the next thing that is stable after the
bleeding edge. Think LibreOffice and Firefox and the kernel.
Are the repo's on the latest version? They are not.
Just the one behind it usually.
I look at Fedroa as up-to-date, not bleeding edge. You
can get bleeding edge elsewhere if you want. Bleeding edge
would be the 5.0 kernel, etc..
Oh, you know what?
$ uname -r
5.0.3-200.fc29.x86_64
Closer to the edge.
And, by the way. RHEL is so BUGGY that it won't even support
the C236 chipset. Cost me about 2000 u$d in free consulting
to figure that out.
7.2 not compatible with C236 and RSTe motherboard

And RHEL won't even do anything about it either. Had I
reported this bug under Fedora, I doubt it would have
gone past a month before they fixed it. These and
other BUG in RHEL almost drive me INSANE and why I
dump them for Fedora, which I an still tickled with.
I think that the term "stable" here should be replaced
with "buggy". RHEL is intensely buggy and their bugs seldom
get fixed; Fedora has a few bugs, but they are rapidly
taken care of.
You are right, bleeding edge is another word used too often and not
always describes Fedora well. For me it is *recent* and *up-to-date* in
comparison with other distros but not bleeding edge as in some rolling
distributions but maybe close.
I never used RHEL, I only have experience with CentOS and I never found
it buggy, on the contrary.
Just wait until you need to install and software that is current.
If you are happy with 10 year old software and do not need any
enhancements to it, you will be fine. Everything out of the box
is fine. Just don't try to add your own stuff to it.
The straw that broke my back was when a bug in RHEL caused Osmo
to delete my business contacts (I am a backup whore, so I survived)
and the developer of Osma had a fix for it but could not help
me because RHEL was too out of date.
It did not help that I lost of 2000 u$d figuring out that RHEL
had a timing issue with the C236 chipset and RSTe raid. It
work fine on the Live USB stick, but since native was too
fast for it, it would randomly not read the hard drive and
not boot. RHEL could have cared less.
oh ya, and RHEL can't run qemu-kvm's wonderful enhancements
and bug fixes either. The irony that KVM is a Red Hat
project and even they can't run the good stuff on RHEL is
not lost on me.
