• SUSE working on a RHEL fork

  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: 10 months ago

• Keeping Open Source Open: Rocky Linux

  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: 10 months ago

• what is the typical size of Linux updates?

  This might be a good use case for RHEL family distribution (such as CentOS Stream or AlmaLinux) or Debian. These are much longer lived distributions, and provide fewer update churn over time than other distributions. Source: 11 months ago

• How to learn Linux , what to learn in Linux , how to prove them i know linux?

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

• Wallpaper from CentOS

  I looked out for days now but didn’t find anything. I’m looking for the stock wallpaper from CentOS Stream. Like the background on their official website: Https://centos.org Does anybody have more luck or better sources than me? Thank you in advance. Source: about 2 years ago

• Does the NAS market really suck or did I miss something?

  I see everyone talking about FreeNAS and TrueNAS but what about RockStor? https://rockstor.com/ I've been using their free version for about two years now and so far rock solid (bar the irritating nag screen everytime I go to the dashboard). Source: over 1 year ago

• RAID ZFS etc, what to use when not buying all disks at once

  There are OSes (like unraid or RockStor) that give you a GUI for some things, but those are strictly optional. Source: over 2 years ago

• Why is Amahi not a popular home server solution?

  Rockstor is another one that rarely gets talked about. I never used it, but it looks interesting and might be good if someone wants a WebUI for managing btrfs. Source: almost 3 years ago

• NAS with BRTFS?

  If you're planning to make your own btrfs-based NAS, then you might find Rockstor interesting. Altought not perfect, I've been using it for a long time with zero issues. Source: about 3 years ago
