Yep!! It is a pita when trying to get things running for the first time.
I started this journey on a couple samba DC's before the Red Hat announcement. Libraries are almost always different names but even common packages like dhcp and bind have different names, configuration files and commands to do the same thing. Most of it is not that hard to figure out but it does take time to do it and it is a lot more work than going from CentOS 7 to CentOS 8.

Maybe I'm just weird, but I don't find naming differences to be big differences.  Like I keep telling optical astronomers, radio astronomy is just observing at another wavelength; I get a lot of mean looks when I say that, too.  It's all light, why are humans so special that our three sensory passbands centered around 450nm, 540nm, and 575nm should be so important?  Why is the 400nm-700nm band more important than say 1000nm to 1700nm other than human eyes' sensitivities?  Package naming is syntactic sugar, no more and no less, IMHO.


There is a small peak around 437+-2nm that has an impact on your
eyes (photochemical risk). I would take care of this 5nm band!
