I currently have no fewer than 37 Rocky Linux installs (mostl virtual machines), but RedHat's [free tier](https://developers.redhat.com/articles/faqs-no-cost-red-hat-enterprise-linux) only gives you a license for 16 hosts. +### CentOS Stream? + +My understanding of [CentOS Stream](https://www.centos.org/centos-stream/) is that it's +essentially a beta branch for the next point-release of RHEL. I'd like a distro where I +run automatic updates and not concern myself with stuff breaking. It doesn't *sound* +like this is the case for Stream. Am I wrong? + +RedHat [asserts](https://blog.centos.org/2020/12/centos-stream-is-continuous-delivery/) that +"To the untrained eye, CentOS Stream is already as stable as RHEL." If that is really the case, +why did so many people jump to Rocky/Alma? Spite? (This is not sarcasm--I'm geniunely curious.) + +CentOS Stream gets security updates through the RHEL "full support" phase (5.5 years). If Stream +is truly "as good as RHEL, but only for 5 years," then I'd consider this a viable option. + ### Ubuntu LTS? Hard pass. `/dev/null` will soon be provided by a Snap package at the rate things are going. -- cgit
