Solid OS with new kernel where everything works, supported until 2030.... No complains here, ssd encryption works, no ram spikes, no issues, updates run smoothly. RPM distribution between redhat and fedora that allows you to add all repos you need unlike alma or red hat, so I can only say give Cent OS Stream 10 a try, customize it if you want, it will be easy, selinux is a bit of an annoyance but it can be adjusted from terminal.

CentOs is great for my custom setup. Must say this is not a beginners distro. Set it up to what you need be it a web server media server file server. I have done the same with Rockey 9 also rock solid ! There is alot of learning to do if you want to use this OS. I'm happy with it so far as I'm also using Unbuntu Server for the same reasons.... REDHAT at it's best ! please use 500 characters come one dude what else can I say to make you happy.... Was this review helpful?

I arrived here after 20 years of using Debian. I don't like that the ISO is 12 GB to download. The GNOME version is 40.4.0 at this time, and the kernel is 5.14.0-480.el9.x86_64. There is detailed information available on more complex configurations. It's a pity that the community has fragmented, but I don’t believe migrating to Rocky Linux or AlmaLinux is necessary. The experience is absolutely interesting; it handles a Zabbix server, Nagios, a few ticketing systems, and a website without any issues. I haven’t encountered any problems so far after a month of use. I’m not a fan of frequent updates, so I plan to perform them every 2-3 months, as uptime is very important to me. That’s about it for a month; I have no complaints. Was this review helpful? Yes No See all 21 reader reviews of CentOS...
