First, it is important to state that Stream is not a rolling release, at least not in the sense that you are thinking. It is "rolling" within a major release, but so are plenty of Linux Distributions. This is also why the centos.org website stopped using "rolling", and started using "continuos" instead at December 2020 (commit). So anyone that keeps using this wording is intentionally being misleading or... Source: 9 months ago
I get that Red Hat has shown themselves to be less than trust worthy given the sunset of CentOS 8, the removal of the centos.org repo updates and the characterization of anyone who uses their software via a clone distro as being a "freeloader" or "parasite". Source: 9 months ago

The easiest approach to this is to download CentOS 7 from centos.org. Source: almost 2 years ago

Context: I started learning Linux on Fedora last year. Last week, I started digging into RHEL, CentOS, oVirt, and such to set up a homelab. Frankly, it was a series of let downs. CentOS Stream, and CentOS.org, were so buggy I couldn't even install it. Then I learned what Stream was and how Red Hat (IBM) killed off CentOS downstream. Then I got Rocky Linux and learned the hard way that RHEL removed drivers for... Source: about 2 years ago
You should stop listening to what people tell you and start learning yourself. There are plenty of announcements, records, explanations etc. On centos.org and on redhat.com covering "the changes". So you were told Red Hat abandoned the project - it's the opposite. CentOS is moving closer to RHEL than it ever was - it's build is now tied to the build of RHEL, not independent and a lot more. The announcement was... Source: almost 3 years ago
