From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You can also use Ansible with just about anything, as long as you can connect to it over SSH or with a REST API. You don't have to use RHEL, specifically. I use it for """declarative""" package management on my Arch system.
Oh yeah, I know that part... Sorry, I can see how that could look like I think that's a RHEL specific feature
