Per #1443, "Since we see popularity of this request, we will keep it on mind and will be able to revisit this decision in future."
That popularity has not ceased, with at least six (counting this one) issues requesting it in some fashion.
There are many reasons why doing this via containers running on the Ubuntu image is not a valid enough solution. For example, there are just some things you cannot do with a container.
Reasons to add this:
It is the only missing "major" packaging scheme (RPM)
RedHat (.rpm) base, and Debian (.deb) are the 2 largest Linux environment bases.
Yes, there are many other packaging schemes in the Linux world, but none of them
with the adoption of RPM and DEB.
Testing of systemd service files (And with a minimal effort, also older sysv init scripts for those of us who have to support them)
More representative environment. If my customers are all using RPM based systems, testing on DEB based systems such as Ubuntu is not a representative environment.
In many instances Fedora can be a stand in for RHEL, CentOS Stream, SuSE Linux Enterprise, OpenSuSE, Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux, and a few others for most testing due to the shared RPM packaging base.
Sometimes it is just important to make your users happy, and with the popularity of this request; this might be one of those times.
Potential community support that can offload some of the work of maintaining this from the GitHub team.
Self hosted runners are also not realistic for everyone.
@stefan-it Hey! There indeed are no plans to support hosted Linux runners other than ubuntu at the moment, so a docker container / a self-hosted runner is the best option if you still need an alternative distro or its version.
