Not that it matters to me but was curious if anyone knows why?
Because there is no reason to. It's the same as RHEL. So you just choose RHEL. The whole "selecting the OS" thing is weird.
Ahh - that makes sense!
Thanks - I learned something today...I can go home now.

@WLS-ITGuy What version of vsphere are you running?

was getting things set up in vsphere to find out that Fedora is not supported
It says Fedora on the list you provided
-
@WLS-ITGuy Interesting that it shows not supported. From that KB article that screenshot mentions, the main thing is the level of support provided
"When creating a new virtual machine, choosing the guest operating system displays the level of support, if it is anything other than Supported."

Yes, and once you select it, the 2nd picture shows that it says it isn't supported.

OIC, lol. It says RHEL is not supported? Something is screwed up.

No. This should clear it up:

That clears nothing up. It goes against their documentation.

REHL 8 is - But using the drop down and selecting Fedora it says it isn't.
Either way, I'll just use REHL 8 and be done.

RHEL Fedora isn't a thing. It's all RHEL and all Fedora. Their selector is broken. RHEL Fedora doesn't exist.

The drop down list told you RHEL isn't, either. Yet we know it is. ESXi is just broken.

That one doesn't actually tell me it isn't supported:

But the other RHEL one does. So clearly it's broken if it gives conflicting information. In one case, RHEL isn't supported, then RHEL 8 is. But RHEL 8 is still RHEL.

I understand. I guess they don't update the dropdown in the software

Also, none of that matters. I don't know why people insist on thinking it does.
All the selector does is tell VMWare to set a few defaults during configuration.
There is pretty much no OS that you cannot install.

Your own screenshot clearly states this.

Yeah, I hate those dropdowns for OS selection, they just make simple things seem complex and confusing. Why would VMware need to know the OS? They don't.

Then best to not use it and not to consider anything from it. Just skip it and protect yourself.
