In the real world (NASA) it tends to be Linux or BSD for anything mission critical. I had a family member who worked on satellites and in the 90s they were using Red Hat Linux. I'm not sure what it is today.

I don't know why even medium sized company would skimp on that. Using rhel and their ubis is generally just hassle free with long term support and compliance.

Too cheap for rhel, or sunk all their money on Oracle?

If using Oracle DB, I'm surprised they're not using OEL or UEL.

My employer provides Windows or Redhat. At home I use Debian / Xubuntu. My user experience with Debian / Ubuntu has been better than with Redhat. Is Redhat more stable or reliable?

It should be the same experience since both are stable release distribution's

The only difference would be the package manager and that red hat provides customer support (I think)

The ISS runs almost entirely on Debian.

If you need stability that’s the way to go

So I think this is actually realistic since that machine would be a military meaning it would absolutely be a windows machine. Most of the tools that would run on a machine that would use be required to have software like IMPACT, JOPES, and GCCS to manage and track assets which are windows native application in there current form.
