So then what's the point of mentioning Rocky as CentOS's successor ? In what way is it 'succeeding' ? That you can do a fresh install of Rocky ? And those stuck on CentOS can't upgrade ? Really useful those decades of support if your distro goes belly up

You don’t know this ecosystem, clearly. I’m not going to explain it to you much more than I did.

Centos was the free version of red hat. Like redhat, centos never fucking ever offered in-place upgrades. Centos moved to stream as a sandbox for redhat, and rocky took over as the free redhat.

Ask an LLM or something, this level of ignorance is unbecoming.

And knowing all this you still can't see what the use case might be for BSD ?

When did I ever suggest anything that would give you that idea?

So what's your point then ? That these are toy/homelab distros ? If so, then we are in agreement
