Good day from Singapore,
What are the differences between CentOS Linux and CentOS Stream?
At the moment, I only know that CentOS 8 support will end on 31 December
2021 while Red Hat Inc will shift its focus to CentOS Stream.
Is CentOS Stream going to be very similar to Fedora Linux, shipping with
the latest Linux Kernel like 5.10.1?
No. Stream kernel updates will be updates on the (current) path from
RHEL8.3 -> RHEL8.4 so the base kernel will always be 4.18.0 (for Stream
tracking RHEL8)
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank you.
Some notable differences:
1. 5 Years support versus 10 years support on RHEL/CentOS Linux.
2. Kernel updates break 3rd party out-of-tree kernel drivers.
3. 'dnf downgrade foo' doesn't work as only latest/one copy of each
package in Stream repository so no opportunity to downgrade/roll back
broken packages.
