Re: CentOS 8 will die and be replaced by Stream

With respect, When these things happen and there is no apparent reason you then follow the money. I share your feelings and wished it did turn out different as per the EOL.

Re: CentOS 8 will die and be replaced by Stream

IMHO, When things happen in a strange way then there is something going on behind the scenes. I can only guess that since RH was bought out by IBM then its under the influence of IBM. Of course, We all know from experience that IBM is terrible at advertising their products. They tend to make some re...

Re: CentOS 8 will die and be replaced by Stream

Re: CentOS 8 will die and be replaced by Stream

Ubuntu - if I wanted that, I'd stay on Windows... Thats my sediments exactly. I still have not forgot about how they went full gnome on us and got rid of the desktop in ubuntu. I have been using Centos for about two full versions now. I have some servers running it at client sites. In fact, I just ...

[SOLVED] Centos8 with Xfce - autologin?

Hello Everyone, I have to assemble a server for a client and I have used centos7 for earlier builds. However, Now with this server I decided to go to centos8 because 7 only has about 2 years left. I was surprised about gnome but I will not get into that. I found some info on installing Fxce and I pr...

The minimum version of 4.19 is 15 versions newer than the 4.4 you tried so it's unsurprising it did not work.

asus-wmi-sensors * Threadripper

I have been trying to compile the asus-wmi-sensors module for use on a threadripper system running centos7. Everything I have tried so far has lead me down a rabbit hole unfortunately. The system this is going on is only available for short periods of time and is 15 miles away from me. So, I am tryi...

Re: Wireguard

... I understand that bandwidth usage is much better than Openvpn which I have used on other clients. ... This is what is claimed but in my opinion it is debatable.
