CentOS Stream: 'I was slow on the uptake, but I get what they are doing now,' says Rocky Linux founder • The Register

@sullybiker I think part of the appeal of #RHEL & #CentOS is stability, but then you find yourself having to add extra repositories because the included software is too old (even though security patches are backported).

If CentOS Stream eliminates the need for those extra (and often sketchy 3rd party) repos, then it is good. Likewise, if #Alma and #Rocky send patches upstream that help improve RHEL, then that is also good.

@lnxw48a1 Yes. And a lot of Centos 7 is very old. GCC is ancient. There's a lot to like in stream.
