There really wasn't a CentOS world beyond that, because it wasn't a true community distribution. Red Hat never attempted to meaningful involve the community, all board members or whatever pretend org CentOS has are RH employees. There were never any kind of community elections or anything of the sort.
Red Hat killed CentOS.
- bonzini 4y agoThere totally was. Facebook had been running CentOS long before Stream, and had several RPM backports to CentOS 7 on GitHub. And guess what, they love CentOS Stream. The default desktop distros for Facebook developers are Fedora and Stream. Honestly if all you know about CentOS is "download ISOs and report bugs that with some luck will be forwarded to RH Bugzilla", you don't know anything about the CentOS community. Again: downloading ISOs doesn't make you part of a community.
- linuxftw 4y agoFacebook is the exact example the self-appointed CentOS leadership used. So you're either part of that cohort, or you're really drinking their koolaide.
