My work allows RHEL, but it’s a specialized configuration that doesn’t get updated very often. I tried it for a while but it was so out of date that I couldn’t build half the tools I needed, so I ended up switching back to Windows. It was about 10-15 years ago when the C++ standard was undergoing a lot of changes, and the company-approved version of GCC was several years old and didn’t support any of the newest features.
Can you get Distrobox running on it. If so, put whatever distro you want on Distrobox and build whatever tools you need in there (including a totally different GCC or Clang toolchain).
