RedHat is a stable OpSys. Accordingly, it doesn't much matter which version. The general assumption is that the more recent distribution has more advanced facilities, eg improved security features in RHEL9. As another post says, Fedora is closer to the bleeding-edge of Linux development. Be aware that there are many methods of adding Python. For example, if your training is based on the Anaconda [Python] distribution, then it is irrelevant which version of Python comes with the Linux distro. As mentioned before, if you advance to developing in [Python] virtual environments, then each of these could run a different version of Python. Similarly, using a VM... The question is relatively minor. More important to 'get going'! (also mentioned previously: relatively easy to change (Python or distro) 'later'!) -- Regards, =dn -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
