[CentOS] Difference between CentOS Linux and CentOS Stream
Hello, Check https://wiki.centos.org/About/Product to find the EOL dates for each version of Centos. To my opinion the only centos version that is anymore appropriate for production usage is version 7. Centos 8 is production ready but the eol date is only a few months away. I choosed to migrate my centos 8 machines to oracle linux 8 for production usage, but many more distros have appeared (almalinux, rockylinux, springdale linux, etc). All of them follow the EOL dates for RHEL 8.x ( May 2029) and are build from the sources packaes of RHEL.

If you are not doing anything special with the kernel, then there is very little difference between CentOS Stream and CentOS Linux. I would surely rather trust the 1500 RHEL developers who are maintaining CentOS Stream than anyone else .. but that is just my opinion.> > Regard, > Antonis Kopsaftis > > On 19/7/2021 7:01 ?.?., Kaushal Shriyan wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I am confused between CentOS Linux and CentOS Stream as per >> https://www.centos.org/download/.
