Question regarding Fedora : I tried it in a docker environment. During some googling to troubleshoot issues, several results were found on the Red Hat commercial support website (so, not accessible). I'm afraid that a good part of advanced/niche documentations and knowledge base for troubleshooting is behind Red Hat commercial support. Is that the case in practice?

Fedora has official docs (https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/docs/), and in practice I've never had a need for the commercial RHEL support. Honestly, I've been using Fedora for 3 years now and can't even remember the last time I had to dig into the docs to troubleshoot something.
I'm a power user and have been using Fedora for over 10 years. I'd highly recommend it, and I don't recall ever getting the feeling that the support/info I needed was gated behind commercial RHEL.
I faced the same problems with some of RH's other software. It felt like they make software needlessly complicated and then hide the troubleshooting information behind paywalls in the hopes of landing support contracts.
