We moved to Centos 8 for user facing servers, from Fedora, during the pandemic.
We needed more stability. We switched to AlmaLinux 8 a few months before the
Centos 8 went EoL (using the AlmaLinux migration script). We now use AlmaLinux
9 and have no regrets.
On the topic of dnf vs. yum. From
We (small CS department) went with AlmaLinux. It too came out with 8.4 in a
very short time frame. On Centos it usually took a few weeks, so I was
unprepared for it to be so quick. I only noticed when our clients reported a
different version. New installs are now AlmaLinux and existing Centos8
