> As for Red Hat, it seems a bit dodgy to get involved with a company as an unpaid user. The incentives are never going to line up. Love their work, I just wouldn't use their system if I wasn't paying them.
As a Fedora user, I like that someone pays for Fedora development, which (hopefully?) enforces standards in terms of code quality and QA, but also things like workplace policies etc. (e.g. I couldn't use software whose staff has been alleging sexual assault).
I think the only non-corporate distro I'd use is Arch (which I did for a while, but Fedora is just so easy to use!)

I should give Debian a try though for sure.
