Homelab update: time to move on from downstream clones!

Shifting all my workloads over to CentOS Stream with Podman. Living closer to upstream, containerizing everything, and probably breaking things in new and interesting ways.

Or maybe I go absolutely nuts and go all the way up to #Fedora!

I've been quite supportive to Red Hat many years. I use their free developer license, as that was supposed to be the new way as a CentOS replacement.

Now I've found a bug I want to report. I don't need or want support, I just want them to beware of the issue. But I'm not capable of understanding where and how to report that. Created an Atlassian account - but to no avail - I was not granted access to anything.

Seriously, Red Hat ... this is not good enough! Far from it! Now you basically makes me want to move towards @almalinux or @rockylinux. Which I believe is exactly what you wanted to avoid when you shut down #CentOS.

And I've noticed that more and more KB articles are now restricted, even after logging in with my developer account.

Your credibility in regards to be supportive to the community is being torn apart now. The free Red Hat Developer subscription feels more and more like a sales/marketing channel nowadays.

I am capable of doing self-support. I've worked for you earlier, I've debugged RHEL issues for you many years. And I want to contribute back as token of appreciation for what you've done so far. Now you make it more and more difficult to help out. Then I rather switch to an EL community which is more forthcoming.

PS! I do not need any suggestions to try other distros. I like and prefer the Fedora/RHEL universe. That's what I've been using primarily for closer to 15+ years; I solve issues quickly here. So Alma/Rocky is where I'm going next. Yes, I know a ton of other distributions and do not need to be educated in why other distros are better. They are not necessarily better for me.

From #CentOSConnect: Scott McCarty and Brian Stinson took us inside the RHEL 11 planning room to show us how Fedora and CentOS fit into the Enterprise Linux process.
