Schöne Zusammefassung zum StatusQuo beim Support von #CentOS 8. Bis Ende des Jahres muss da eine Einscheidung her - welche auch immer.
Ich bin jetzt schon seit einem Jahr auf #CentOS-Stream und schätze, dass ich dabei bleiben werde - trotz der Befürchtungen zuvor.

I have used Debian and Ubuntu for most of my Linux based projects but a few of them do use CentOS, like FreePBX, and there are a few projects I will be working on soon that have historically relied on CentOS.
One of the big draws to CentOS was the longevity of a release, one of the reasons I like Debian and Ubuntu LTS releases. This stability looks to be done away with by the change to CentOS Stream, which looks to be a way to try and push more users to RHEL.
Now we are in a grey area as CentOS 8 will be EOL by the end of 2021 but CentOS 7 will continue to be supported until 2024.
This leaves me curious about what others are thinking/planning when starting new projects this year that would have used CentOS:
* Will you install CentOS 7 and run on that until a viable fork comes to life
* Would this be your time to choose a different distribution altogether
* Is there an argument for running on CentOS 8 and planning to migrate once the updates stop
Don't leave this to my bullet points. If you have more input I think this would be a great platform for this discussion.
