| If CentOS Stream is going to be just a FOSS upstream for RHEL, will you still pick Fedora Server over it?
Yes, but only because Fedora Server is (also/even more) a FOSS upstream for RHEL. Doing something that isn't Fedora (Workstation/Server) is "one more thing", however small, and I'd rather spend the brain tokens elsewhere. If it 10x'ed my app I'd do it, but I can't imagine it would.
Thanks for the links, I wasn't so mad at CentOS Stream the product itself per se, I think it's a valid product / change to the old model. My biggest issue is the changing of the promises - the supported life of the product changed in-production. That's a big no-no to me.
Fedora (upstream) requires you to keep up, but at least it doesn't make promises that it won't keep.
I have been using Fedora Workstation for a while now, and I am trying to pick the best single-server OS for all my future projects.
Since Fedora is now a direct upstream for CentOS Stream – and CentOS Stream 9 is basically a LTS version of Fedora 34[1] – I am leaning towards CentOS Stream.
In fact, CentOS Stream might now even make sense as a stable desktop OS, and as a better alternative to Ubuntu LTS.
