I don't have first hand knowledge of Meta, but I have a fair amount of enterprise experience. A large enterprise will have a large number of technology stacks. It will look like the wild, wild west. They will likely allow Fedora, in addition to other distros like Alpine, Debian, the BSDs and Ubuntu. And they will also allow a heap of developmental languages. I often recommend Fedora Server anytime I see folks using RHEL or CentOS. I don't understand why organizations run that antique software that is no longer in development. Fedora provides modern software and is in active development with continuous bug fixes. The "in active development" part is important. Old versions of software and kernels just accumulate more unfixed bugs over time. Most developers don't spend time on old versions of software, so the known bugs don't get fixed. Adversaries love that property of old software. https://thenewstack.io/design-system-can-update-greg-kroah-hartman-linux-security/ . I eat my own dog food. I run Fedora Servers at my house.
