you are reading this one wrong.
"hobbyists" and "enthusiasts" means there is no support available for
it. (because typically "hobbyists" and "enthusiasts" do not need
support)

but if you did not pay for redhat before, you did not get support for
redhat either!

if you want support you will have to pay for it, on any distro.

if you do not want to pay then you are a hobbyist.
(if you can not afford to, then that's a different problem,
 redhat wants to make money, so don't expect them to carter to this
 problem)

i expect fedora to be no worse than redhat was when i used it. (7.x was
my last i think before switching to debian)
