https://makertube.net/videos/watch/c64ec460-02ef-4eb7-97d2-1d775c639a26 You asked for it, you got it. Here's what I think of Red Hat. Sorry this video took a bit longer than I'd like, since I'm working on finishing my basement (future recording space) at the moment. Anyway, I'm not planning on dwelling much on Red Hat beyond this- my plan is to move forward with community-driven distros in mind, and recommend those to customers in the months and years ahead. I hope Red Hat gets to a good place again. We'll see. Supporters make this possible. Seriously, nobody's sponsoring this video except you!

Do you have any hands-on experience, where has it broken after updates? Stream contains all features of upcoming RHEL. Except it does not limit new features only to minor releases. If you need that, you want RHEL instead. Or you can cherry-pick from centos-stream repos and separate features from bugs. But that is not a free service paid by RH anymore.
