Hi all,
Red Hat announced it was "shifting focus from CentOS Linux, the rebuild of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), to CentOS Stream, which tracks just ahead of a current RHEL release." In other words, CentOS will no longer be a stable point distribution but a rolling-release Linux distribution. CentOS users are ticked off.
For years, CentOS has been the choice of experienced Linux administrators who felt little need for support, while RHEL was what companies chose who wanted the belts and suspenders of full support. With this move, thousands of companies will need to move to a different Linux variant. They're not happy.
This move seems like a strategy by Red Hat to convince people who want a stable enterprise operating system to be forced to migrate to their prohibitively expensive, for-profit OS.
