I haven't used RedHat since in the early 2000's when their release
included a tweaked gcc and Python that broke stuff. If you wanted to
build a kernel you had to get another compiler.

fwiw, I read yesterday that Ubuntu has given up on the Unity desktop and
are going back to Gnome. Their phone/tablet version is also dead.
