Those that love it will fight for it. Those that hate it will simply avoid using it. There may be some commercial incentives for IBM/Redhat to push for it. Either way it will always be divisive for a myriad of reasons listed below. Some sysadmins will begrudgingly support it at work and some absolutely love to support it. I have supported it in the enterprise and I use it on gaming machines at home. (CachyOS / Bazzite). My daily drivers, servers both physical and VM will always be without it. (MX Linux / Void Linux / Alpine Linux).

I only use mini-PC's these days and all the games I play work great on CachyOS. All the other daily stuff works great on MX/Void and of course running firewalls, NAS and servers on Alpine is about as simple as it gets for me anyway. Bazzite on my laptop found my Brother laserjet instantly and without adding drivers.
