A few days ago, I installed #centos stream, the middle ground between #fedora and #redhat

This combination of a solid, but not too conservative OS with flatpaks from #flathub as the standard source of apps is quite interesting. I admit that there are some provisos I have to overcome regarding the stability.

Maybe some more of the essential apps should go to #epel.

A few days ago, I installed #centos steam 10, the middle ground between #fedora and #redhat

I think I should promote it, as the combination of a solid, but not too conservative OS with flatpaks from #flathub as the standard source of apps is quite interesting.

Would be nice to have a #SIG pushing forward a solid (scientific) workstation, because a number of essential apps should be made available in #epel, just to have a more stable foundation for essential tasks. Anyone up for such a SIG?

Bug-for-bug compatibility is great, but having an actual feedback loop into enterprise Linux development is better. I wrote about my experience running CentOS Stream in production, how it handles security updates without the rebuild lag, and why the upstream model beats the old CentOS way.

Why I Prefer CentOS Stream Over Old CentOS

Old CentOS rebuilt RHEL faithfully, but its downstream position meant it could only follow, never contribute back. CentOS Stream changes that. Sitting upstream of RHEL and downstream of Fedora, it ...

Welp, we may very well lose seriously the best #FOSS #NAS option we had, #TrueNAS at some point - maybe even soon. @geerlingguy rightly mentioned that this smells a whole lot like the whole #RedHat/#CentOS debacle not that long ago. This sucks, but meh, I’m liking #OpenMediaVault more and more these days - prolly not as sophisticated, but certainly does the job and is super simple to setup (#RaspberryPi as first class citizen too).
