@nixCraft Moved all my (personal) CentOS 7+8 machines to CentOS Stream 9. Not had a problem so far. Sometimes, packages arrive earlier than in RHEL (recently with podman) and I like that.
Thomas Broyer@Larvitz nice. how did you get Red Hat ? Are you Red Hat/IBM employee? Or is this just something custom?
@nixCraft I’m a Red Hat employee but I don’t use RHEL for personal projects. Always stuck to CentOS and nowadays centos stream. I work with RHEL, but that’s not related to the services, I run personally

@nixCraft Oracle on server and OpenSUSE(tumbleweed) on laptop
alex
@sounddrill what made you choose Oracle?
I AM BANKSY ☕ / 🗑🔥@nixCraft I was using OCI free tier and I remember there being Ubuntu and oracle
For hestiaCP servers, I went with Ubuntu
And for regular game servers, I went with oracle
: j@fabrica:~/src; 
@sounddrill @nixCraft FYI: Oracle Cloud has been keeping Rocky images up for a while as well. I don’t know if it has the agent out of the box though, in case you use the “autonomous” package updates, command runner, metrics shipper etc.
@nixCraft windows on desktop but I'm trying to switch soon
bananas_pizza@nixCraft can I call Fedora RHEL based? 🤣🤣🤣
@alihan_banan haha, no, Fedora is like future RHEL version. hah
@nixCraft then RHEL is fedora based 😱
Scott Williams 🐧@alihan_banan @nixCraft Correct. Fedora is the upstream of RHEL. RHEL and CentOS are based on Fedora.
hetoug@nixCraft You left out "None of the above"
@hetoug i can only put 4 options. that seems to be the limit.

bargo@nixCraft I use EOS not an RHEL-based, for work, we use winlol, like any other company abiding by EU laws
🇺🇸 🇺🇦 🇮🇱 🐧 🥦There is a large company where everyone in the US would recognize their name. Massive government contractor. I had a job subcontracting for them. They used CentOS until CentOS changed their update model.
The Big Government Contractor had no problem getting RHEL when CentOS would no longer work for their customer's needs.
Cheap bastards.
@Methylcobalamin haha 🤣 I know. Maybe that is why they made changes
To get rid of the freeloaders ? LOL.
HoracioDos@nixCraft I started working with Oracle Linux because we represent a software product, which primarily runs on RHEL, required cost-free lab environments. Oracle Linux has proven to be an excellent choice.
crabbypup@nixCraft where necessary, my preference is Rocky. But most of my workloads run on Debian, at a ratio of like 40:1, with a smattering of Alpine for machines running very simple services.
Raj 🇬🇧🇪🇺💻🖥(🌻🇺🇦;🇵🇸)@nixCraft Who in heck uses Stream!?
Manuel 
@nixCraft I used to run CentOS for many years on the server but nowadays I just use Arch for personal systems, as well as for Pis and desktop/laptop. With a certain strategy it's extremely stable.
Joëlle@nixCraft Gonna install Rocky Linux 'cause I want to see the answers
Paul Wouters 🇪🇺🇨🇦
Chewie@nixCraft still normal CentOS.
..
I guess I should upgrade at some point ☹️
Kowalski Dragon@nixCraft RHEL itself 😁
Peter Czanik@nixCraft I have all, except Oracle Linux to test syslog-ng regularly.
Edu Minguez 🐧
@nixCraft I use tons of Oracle Linux, because I work at Oracle.
I have some of everything though, and my preference is for Rocky simply because of the Raspberry Pi image availability. I appreciate they re-skinned FreeIPA also.
#/usr/sbin/rtheren@nixCraft AlmaLinux at home. Work uses Rocky Linux, but I am slowly moving things to Alma there too, since I get earlier updates and erratas for Foreman/Katello (which makes my life easier for patch management).
