I'm a freelance developer, and graphic designer. I live in Argentina. The monthly pay in Argentina is very low -$200 USD per month... Since I'm a programming beginner and can't sell my products for more than $200-400 USD, this is really kindness... Thank you Red Hat Team. Great Job, keep it up!

What benefits will I get when I will upgrade from Developer No-cost subscription to your RHEL Workstation / Server paid subscription - as a individual that wants to learn - and sometimes need to ask something to IT person, but don't have time to search forums etc? I sometimes need to install something from outside sources - Are Flatpaks and other configurations supported by you?

I don't think "I want to ask random technical questions to someone" is a reason to move a single machine to a workstation subscription. Here's why:
* As a training or learning system, your support cases are going to be Severity 4, because they don't have "production impact". Severity rating impacts the speed at which support works and responds to your case, 4 is the lowest.
* Support interactions tend to be very problem/resolution oriented. If the problem is "I don't know how to do a task" the resolution is generally "Here's a document to read to tell you how to do that task."
* The support you get with a Workstation subscription is not training, the goal of support is to help resolve a problem, not teach someone how to do a thing. (Red Hat has an entire, different department dedicated to training).
Further, I'd say, if you're interested in learning, spending time doing research to answer your own questions is worth while. It certainly does not feel that way at the time, but you'll start to develop the ability to perform better searches and get better results, while also being able to more quickly look at a result and see if it's appropriate for your situation. Nate and I just did an episode of Into the Terminal on this: ua-cam.com/users/live-D71wBEEVYs?si=YEH2vCInRAZnCsRs
To your flatpak question. RHEL includes flatpak capability. We ship flatpak, and we even have our own software packaged as flatpaks on our own repository. However, you also ask about third-party software, that's something different, and we describe how this is handled in this very long document here:
access.redhat.com/third-party-software-support
Essentially, we'd help if flatpak (the literal software provided by Red Hat, not the stuff someone has packaged in this format), which we ship, was causing some weirdness. But you'd be expected to work with the other software provider on if the archive, format, or content in that flatpak was the suspected cause of the problem.
