I really don’t see it that way. If I want a free-of-charge RHEL, I’ll get CentOS.

I don’t understand the “killing off CentOS” thing. I’m still using and it updates continuously.

From how I understand it:

Before the "killing of CentOS": CentOS is based off of RHEL (basically being identical with packages, just not "officially professionally supported", I think)

After the "killing of CentOS": RHEL is based off of CentOS (with CentOS-Stream being "the staging" for RHEL packages)

But I actually have no actual clue what haseen going on there and have just been somewhat following this entire "drama" with bbit of interest, so I might be completely wrong in how it actually work
