RESF / Rocky Linux is gaining worldwide recognition and sets itself as the primary organization / platform to become the CentOS 8 heir / successor in the future. Google and Microsoft become RESF sponsors/partners: https://rockylinux.org/news/community-update-june-2021/ And so IBM/RH lose the tremendous advantage they had by owning the CentOS project, which - it seems - never evaluated correctly. From now on, it is clear that hundreds of thousands of CentOS installations will be migrating to Rocky Linux. I also wish the best of success to CentOS Stream, but this is not what the CentOS community expected. My 2c. Nick
There's also Alma, which is where I've gone after being with CentOS since 5.3 On 07/07/2021 10:44, Nikolaos Milas wrote:> On 30/4/2021 7:27 ?.?., Gionatan Danti wrote: > >> >> The correct answer is to buy RH: fine.

As a side note, I evaluated Oracle Linux because it has working secure boot, but I am somewhat afraid of using it (due to corporate practices). This probably is an irrational feeling (after all, I do not exclusively use MariaDB, but MySQL also), but I prefer to stay on the safe side. Anyway, I strongly feel that IBM/RH miscalculated the move.

Whereas Oracle Linux (the best RHEL clone in terms of maintenance reactivity) has been around since 2006, free as in beer since 2012, and nobody wants to touch it.
