I've seen different opinions on this. Some people will certainly be looking for community-maintained distributions since they are unlikely to undergo a change like this. In particular some sysadmin Youtubers (like Veronica Explains) have been saying that they are switching their clients over. But others have been saying that Debian won't really have too much of a chance as they don't offer the same amount of professional support. What do you think?

I doubt big business will switch. Most customers of RHEL don't care if the general public has easy access to the source code. (I am assuming)

I think what we might see is small business using CentOS, Rocky, Alma etc, switch to Debian. Since they didn't have commercial support, Debian will be the same. Since they will no longer be clones of RHEL there is little incentive to use them

Debian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run. Debian provides more than a pure OS: it comes with over 59000 packages, precompiled software bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine.
