Subject: Which linux distro is more conducive for learning the Python programming language?
Good day from Singapore,
May I know which linux distro is more conducive for learning the
Python programming language?
Since I have absolutely and totally FREE RHEL developer subscription
(I don't need to spend a single cent), can I use Red Hat Enterprise
Linux version 9.0 to learn Python?
Is it the most popular linux distro for learning Python?
I just want to know which linux distro and version is more conducive
for learning Python. Because there are thousands of linux distros out
there. And I just want to settle down on a particular linux distro
and
version.
Thank you.

I wouldn't say any particular Linux distribution is appreciably better for Python development than another. I would suggest using a version of a Linux distribution that supports a recent Python release (e.g. 3.9 or 3.10).

Ah, if you're familiar with Redhat (RPM) based distributions, consider
Fedora as you will have access to newer versions sooner.
If you're more familiar with Debian (DEB) based distributions, consider Ubuntu, again, as the new version release cycle is twice a year.
(Also, my apologies -- I meant to CC the list but failed to do so.)

The best one would be whatever you happen to have installed and for
which you understand system administration. Beyond that, distribution
choice matters very little. Every distribution I've used ships python3 packages, which was fine for learning the language.

As a Python-learner (there's no comment about current programming
expertise), it is unlikely to make any difference which Linux distro is
used.
Answers to such open-ended questions are usually seated in bias - which in-turn is mostly likely to be the same answer as 'which is the Linux
distro *I* use?
(I've used a number, with Python, over the years)
The better alignment is to match the version of Python with the book or course you are using as learning-materials. That way, there are unlikely
to be surprises.
There are differences in Python implementations between Linux, Mac, and Windows. However, I can't think of a book or course which spends any
time discussing them, or having a chapter which demands one or other OpSys.
When you become more experienced two things will happen: firstly you
will start using tools which enable the use of different versions of
Python for different dev.projects; and secondly you will form your own opinions of "best"!
(it's not difficult to change distro)
PS most of us will qualify for RedHat's Developer program[me] and free
copies of software.

I can download free copies of RHEL 7.x, 8.x, and 9.x :) Just that I
dunno which RHEL version is better. Is RHEL 9.0 the best out of 7.x,
8.x and 9.x?

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'!)

Noted with thanks Kushal. Since I can download FREE copies of RHEL
9.0, I will use it then.
I consider rhel 9 is an old os. I would suggest using fedora over rhel. Fedora 36 has python 3.10 and the when fedora 37 is released it will have python 3.11.
And fedora is free as well.

Fedora is an excellent choice for Python users. Fedora 36 already comes
with Python 3.11.0b5 in its main repository. In fact you have Python
2.7, 3.5-3.11, PyPy 2.7, PyPy 3.7-3.9, and MicroPython at your fingertips.
