I did a project 15 years ago converting a centralized web server to individual Fedora containers for 500 orgs. > Since Fedora only updates for 18 months after release, having to upgrade each container to a new version annually was painful. Yeah it’s only this php thing breaks or that perl module does something different. But when you multiply that by 500x it gets painful quickly. After having done that a time or two converted to centos containers which made for less work for the admins and fewer angry users. Another project used Fedora as a LAN router which worked great, but again annual updates/reinstalls/reconfigurations got old. Migrated to pfSense with a clicky-clicky UI which a junior admin can configure and couldn’t be happier. Granted pfSense upgrades sometimes break, but 10 clicks later everything needed is reconfigured and working. Don’t get me wrong, Fedora has its place but sometimes needs a little more care-and-feeding than some other choices for any given problem/solution.
