Lumiere
06/16/2023, 1:40 PMvery debatable - s

06/16/2023, 1:40 PMDefinitely not THE successor. It's the successor to AL2, but it's got so many frankenstein pieces as to not be related to anything. - l
Lumiere
06/16/2023, 1:40 PMrocky or alma 8/9 are the el successorsthis 2 - l

06/16/2023, 1:41 PMamazon is the el illegitimate child :)🦜 2 - s

06/16/2023, 1:41 PMTechnically, EL8 and EL9 are the successors to EL7. Alma and Rocky are the successors to CentOS. 🙂 - s

06/16/2023, 1:43 PMMost RHEL releases have their start with Fedora. Fedora is a pre-alpha release of RHEL, if you will. - c

06/16/2023, 1:43 PMuntil RHEL9 which was based on Stream - y
Yorokobi
06/16/2023, 1:44 PMBut isn't stream. It is RHEL 9. What it is based on doesn't mean that is what it is. - c

06/16/2023, 1:44 PMSame could be said about Amazon Linux 2023 then right? 😉 - s

06/16/2023, 1:48 PMhow would Debian be outdated? - l
Lumiere
06/16/2023, 1:50 PMif you really need to be up to date, use testing. if you want to bleed use unstable. - y
Yorokobi
06/16/2023, 1:50 PMThe same way RHEL ones are. The 'stable' releases are always older; you'd have to use 'testing' or whatever is ahead of that for newer packages (and more likelihood of breakage). - l
Lumiere
06/16/2023, 1:50 PMhonestly, testing is fairly stable - l
Lumiere
06/16/2023, 1:50 PMit's generally 2 months behind "new" and has to survive some number of weeks with no critical bugs before it can be transitioned into testing - l
Lumiere
06/16/2023, 1:51 PMI ran unstable as my desktop for years in college, and I still run testing as my work desktop - c

06/16/2023, 1:56 PM2021.7 should support Amazon Linux 2023 as replacement for AL2 though... since it's LTS - b
