CentOS project has shifted its focus last month. See viewtopic.php?f=9&t=76599

End of support (as we know now):

Code: Select all

CentOS Linux  8   2021-12-31
CentOS Stream 8   2024-05-31
CentOS Linux  7   2024-06-31

Depending on level of detail everything is about the same or has huge differences.
You (hopefully) learn something no matter which system you use.

Yes...I heard that CentOS 8 will reach EOS by 12-31-2021 and Stream will continue from that time. I also take this opportunity to say hello all, since Im new to this forum.
