Fedora is bleeding edge
Not really. It is the next thing that is stable after the bleeding edge. Think LibreOffice and Firefox and the kernel.
Yeah, thank you Todd and Margo. From https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/#_first "we provide the latest in stable and robust, useful, and powerful free software". We definitely don't want to be bleeding edge. We have an excellent and incredibly active QA team, and our goal is for you to be able to follow all of this upstream open source innovation _without_ blood or injury.
I rankle at the "bleeding edge" statement hurled at Fedora. The QA teams does not let buggy stuff lose on us. I am so tickled with Fedroa after all those years on RHEL and clones, that it has been a year and a half now since I migrated everyone over from RHEL to Fedroa and I still get the giggles watching everything JUST WORK!
Well, not everything, just 99.9% of it and I have been able to get fixed what does or worked around it. Totally different culture/attitude than RHEL.
As far as RHEL not working on the C236 chipset, it is their bastardized kernel. I do not think there is any hope of it ever improving. Kind of a house of cards. Keeps them from running a current kernel. and keeps them "stable", meaning frozen / no improvements.
Fedora is the most wonderful example of Kaisen (constant improvement) I can think of.

Okay one last slam at RHEL: "You did not use the approved hardware list!" Oh, you mean the one with such out dated hardware on it that I can't even find it anyone, even if I wanted to? Not even on FleeBay? It is their universal excuse for low quality software.
