Hi Alessandro,
Compared to Microsoft , both RH and SuSE are awesome.
You always need a patch management strategy with locked repos (spacewalk/pulp) which can be tested on less important systems, prior deployment on Prod.
Keep in mind that Secureboot is hard to deploy in Virtual Environments and thus testing is not so easy.
Of course, contributing to the community was always welcomed.
Best Regards,
Strahil Nikolov
