Re: What do you think of the recent Red Hat announcement about CentOS Linux/Stream?

There will soon be two clones, Rocky and Alma, for those who want a traditional downstream RHEL copy.
I've been back and forth on Red Hat's decision to end CentOS 8 support early. At this point I'm looking at Stream as a way to run a way more stable Fedora-style desktop/workstation with much less churn.
Even on the server, the things I do can probably withstand whatever updates are pushed through Stream, and I think that most of the time getting patches earlier — if that actually happens — will help me.
I'm taking a wait-and-see approach and running Stream on my desktop right now.
