Did you really miss RedHat killing CentOS 8? The support was supposed to last to 2029 if I remember correctly. It was cut to end of 2021. Stream is a different product for a different audience. And CoreOS from the company CoreOS is actually dead. Fedora CoreOS is built from scratch. It's very similar to Fedora IoT (runs rpm-ostree, podman, ignition), but it downstreams to RHCOS, which you only get with OpenShift. Neither resemble CoreOS. The biggest fork of real CoreOS is Flatcar Linux. Also, Leap minor upgrades do not come with upstream version bumps, so in a sense, yes, the release cycle of Leap and SLES is 3-4 years. RHEL 8 and RHEL 8.1 are not different releases either.

>Did you really miss RedHat killing CentOS 8 It's not death it's just "stream" now, and Centos7 is still without stream >Fedora CoreOS is built from scratch. Yes and? It's not death, you don't want to support different software for the same goal, flannel, docker etc. >the release cycle of Leap and SLES is 3-4 years Not true Leap15.3 = SLES15sp3. RHEL has the ~same kernel for every dot release, that's not the case with SLES SP's. Every SP has a new/different kernel and new software. You can do that "partially" with modules on RHEL, but just certain packages are in modules. You can't compare SLES SP's and RHEL dot-releases.
