Small thing perhaps but Linode offers new OS image so much faster than anyone else as I have seen them release CentOS 8 image pretty much on the day it was released and DO hadn't got it the last time I checked after a month or so.

When a company has a room to care to the detail like this, you can feel they're not crushed by support requests which may mean they're doing things right.

This is because DO uses cloud images from upstream projects where possible. They weren't available for CentOS 8 until recently.
