Isn't stability and dependability the precise reason of CentOS popularity? Do you have any source on it not being stable and/or dependable?
- FlyMoreRockets 6y agoYou're not wrong. I've maintained a mission critical CentOS server for the better part of a decade and it has been quite stable and dependable, despite their embrace of systemd which broke stuff the system required. I think I only had to do a manual reboot three times during that point, which is good, because it is on a remote mountaintop with access to the range controlled by armed guards. Still, you seem to be missing the larger point. Suddenly, CentOS is dead. Maybe I'm an outlier, but that seems like a disruption in its stability and dependability.
- BossingAround 6y agoWell, I was reacting to: > [fails to be stable] for more than a decade and a half CentOS was stable for more than a decade and a half. Whether it continues to be stable or not, that remains to be seen, unless you're an oracle :)
