No, no, no to RHEL and Rockey (as Rocky just promotes RHEL's dominance.)
We as engineers and sysadmins recommend the platforms to our management and I for one am DONE with RedHat. Their are plenty of good alternatives..
Ubuntu, FreeBSD and SuSE are perfectly fine and accepted in enterprise. Ubuntu has never charged for software licenses OR documentation and FreeBSD has been doing the same model for 30 years and it's an insanely simple system. (simple means easy to work on)
Some people don't like Ubuntu because it's "baby's first Unix" and they use the same sources for server and desktop, I get the reasons but seems solid enough and they have fought RedHat at almost every turn so pick whatever you like and run with it.Last edited by k1e0x; 26 February 2021, 02:07 PM.

FYI for anyone looking for the CentOS Stream image on hub.docker.com, https://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/CentOSStream tells you to use:
docker pull quay.io/centos/centos:stream8

I ran it for some workloads in 2013-15 when we got the licenses for free with our Cisco UCS purchases. I didn't hate it, but it didn't blow my socks off as something I'd recommend my management team to pay for.

Why would Debian users be the ones whining? They seem to have made a better choice and are unaffected by this corporate monetisation nonsense.

I am the first to be baffled by the entire development. My best guess of Redhat's "embrace, extend, and destroy" tactics is that they will try to prevent binary compatible RHEL alternatives. This has been a move that both Canonical and MS would be proud of.
