Enterprise Linux on desktop?

Anyone using enterprise Linux on their desktop such as RHEL, Alma, Rocky, CentOS etc.?

I’m curious if it’s easy to use for this purpose or if the older packages are a pain.

    For which cases did you need cake for example?

    My base OS is Fedora Kinoite and I’m considering have AlmaLinux in a podman container for some applications and tools. Replacing it every year because fedora is eol is too often in my opinion.

    Hasn’t Kate been replaced by an upgraded Kwrite or is Kate still maintained?

      Since you asked, I don’t usually need cake, since I don’t do parties, but I might occasionally buy a piece and eat it.

      kate and kwrite are both maintained and usable side by side on the same system.
      In terms of features… kwrite : kate :: notepad : notepad++. Kinda… kwrite is still much more featurefull than notepad.
      They have KDE Frameworks dependencies, which makes it non-trivial to install on RHEL when you can only access the local base and EPEL repo.
