Fill me in? What recent fiasco?
2 comments

CentOS as we know it is basically going away. Worse, they reneged on their promise of long-term support for the last release.

What will be known as "CentOS" will be the "stream" version, i.e. a rolling release distro with goals completely antithetical to what was out there before.

CentOS 8 had its EOL brought forward to 2021 and CentOS 9 won't exist. Folks are expected to switch to CentOS Stream, RHEL or another distro.
