Hi Todd, The suggestion came from my personal experience. I use RHEL as my personal/work desktop workstation. After moving to RHEL 9, I boot to Windows 10 twice yearly, only to check for updates. I never miss Windows because most of today's apps are available on DNF, Flatpak, or the Browser. I have used Fedora for 2 years because I was okay with formatting once every 6 months. I moved to RHEL after work (at home) became more hectic, and I did not want any more distractions.
