I feel your pain re Gnome.

Installing CentOS 8 on a VMware VM which uses BIOS boot mode using the graphical
installer results in an installer gui which is chopped off at the right.

Workaround is to select the install option, hit the tab key, and append vga=819
and hit F10, which starts the graphical installer on a larger virtual display.

Or, better still, use EFI boot mode for your VM, and it all just works.

Make sure that the VMware virtual VGA adapter has enough RAM, too.

Cheers,

Phil

Mainline kernel packages are available from elrepo for el8. Current 
version is kernel-ml-5.3.x:

https://elrepo.org/linux/kernel/el8/x86_64/RPMS/

Is that new enough for you?

I'm trying it right now. I pleasantly discover PHP 7.2 with fpm and
Python 3.6, which is exactly what I installed from 3rd party
repositories in Centos 7 on my vps. I will test upgrade from C7 to
disable epel and webtatic. I'm waiting for blogs and "youtubs" to
report
on appstream and what I could install from Fedora maybe. I have more
confidence in Fedora repos than epel, since the latter is usually
rebuild Fedora packages anyway.

Did you try SCL instead of directly installing packages from another repo?
It is similar to how the new Appstreams allow multiple concurrent versions.

EPEL is a Fedora SIG project.

CentOS 8.0 1905 is using Linux Kernel 4.18? Not Linux Kernel 5.x?
