Joel,
any version of Linux is a good version of GNU/Linux, at least in
someone's opinion. If your works is using RHEL, then Fedora has a
lot in common. For the Broadcom drivers, you could also try
liberating/borrowing/otherwise acquiring a USB-to-Ethernet adapter
and using a good old wired network connection for the initial
installation.
As an alternative, Ubuntu is more liberal with hardware drivers,
and others have reported success, see .

Based on the fact that work is a RHEL/Windows shop, I'm
thinking I want to install Fedora Workstation on one of my old
MacBook Airs - a 2015 model. While we are moving to on-prem
containerization and it's coming fast, we are not there yet.
Based on this, is my thinking sound in wanting to install Fedora
Workstation or does the version of Linux matter if I just want
to learn the CLI and scripting and building systems?
I don't know if it matters but I am taking a familiarization
course on K8s.
?
I am currently playing around and live booting Fedora but I'm
having a hard time with the Broadcom WIFI drivers on the MBA -
I'm in a catch-22 situation in that I need a network connection
to download drivers for a network connection. Does one download
the drivers and "sneaker-net" them over to the MBA or do I just
buy a to install the drivers and then stick the
dongle in a drawer to save for later?
?
