My computer have a NIC that is not supported by CentOS 8 - in order to not having to buy a new computer I am considering to buy a network card but the question is what card that actually is supported and hopefully will remain so for some time into the future?
I have both free PCI and PCIe slots to use.
Any suggestions of known to work cards are warmly appreciated!
Supported PCI or PCIe Network adapter cards?

Re: Supported PCI or PCIe Network adapter cards?
Answered your other post about supporting the existing card so this one is probably redundant.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Re: Supported PCI or PCIe Network adapter cards?
Your answer to that question indeed solved my problem.
As a partial answer to my own question about supported adapters I can also mention that I found an old PCIe network adapter card from Realtek in a drawer (not much larger than a credit card) that I slotted in the machine and it actually worked (with close to its rated 1gb/s speed) supported by the r8169 driver but now I can unplug that card and rely on the native NICs on the MB thanks to the sky2 support for Marvell
