I've often seen set ups where Prod is RedHat because support, and Test and Dev environments are CentOS to avoid the fees on less important environments.

The two major benefits of RedHat seem to be:
- Dedicated support
- Long term stable
Now LTS is provided by others but the support isn't always there. A lot of enterprises like the support as sort of an insurance if they lose their experts.
Personally I don't agree with enterprises that think that way, but it is the reason it has stuck around so long.
I tried to use it as a daily driver at the beginning of this year. The biggest showstopper for me was the modem randomly stopping and sometimes requiring a device restart.
Interesting, wasn't expecting to see openSUSE as a recommendation here. It isn't one I've dabbled with much. Might have to give it a try sometime. For the record I'm not hugely looking for change just interested in what others are using instead of debain/Ubuntu
What would you recommend here instead? Or rather what are you using for your daily driver?
Which is probably how it happened but yea doesn't seem like Google's fault.
