Red Hat Enterprise Linux is rock solid. People often say it's old. It's not. It's stable. On the desktop, many apps as provided by the default Red Hat repositories may be too old for your liking, but it's not a problem. I replace all the desktop stuff with flatpaks anyway. This is the industry standard, and now that there's a free subsciption option for individuals, why not?
Sometimes Red Hat the company makes controversial decisions like making it harder to create clones, but I don't want a clone. I want RHEL :-)

Fedora which is RHEL's upstream distro is often hailed as one of the best distros to run on personal computers, but my biggest gripe with fedora is its philosophy to propagate FOSS only software.
There are many applications which aren't available on fedora because of its FOSS only policy. Mongodb comes to my mind to name a few. Overall, RHEL has been a pretty stable, reliable and convenient distro with support to a plethora of applications and i do hope Red Hat strives to keep it that way.
Good job Red Hat.

I have extensive past experience of using CentOS 7 + 8 as a development workstation so when looking for a distro to use on my home laptop RHEL 9 became a contender. I am using the free developers license so I have access to updates from Redhat.
RHEL is perfect for my requirements. A rock solid GNOME desktop not too far behind the upstream. The default repos are light on packages but can be supplemented with EPEL, RPM Fusion, Flathub and (did I mention I was a developer?) the occasional package compiled from source.
Not to everyone's taste but I cannot see why I should not keep using this distro for a good long time.

Update issues caused by simple bugs like curl, ssl, language, decoding error and ASCII character encoding, which were fixed months ago in Fedora but still not fixed in RHEL version 9, have not been fixed despite months of reports of update issues. These errors occur in several languages other than English and are not fixed unless the system language is set to English. This also affects AlmaLinux, CentOS and other RHEL 9 based distributions.

The reference in the Enterprise market. Not for home use.
Not cheap but reliable.
When something gets broken and your manager wants a solution fast, RHEL is the way.

The only unique thing about this distro over the others targeting the same market is the excellent paid support you get, but that shouldn't matter if you are rating the product itself.

Works out of the box. Stable. Updates do not break functionality.
