Which OS is best now that CentOS has been discontinued? - robiro1 - 06-24-2021

Hi everyone,

The recent announcement of CentOS stated that it is coming to end and i start wondering which is the best option for a new Dedicated server.

Do I still go with CentOS 7 or is there an alternative option now?

I know that CentOS is only EOL in 2024 and CentOS 8 is EOL now in this year 2021. So it makes very little sense to go with CentOS 8.

It depends on the type of services that you're offering for the past 14 years we've been using Ubuntu. There's been some changes to the way things work such as network etc. This can be bothersome for some if you're dependent on scripts. I'd suggest trying out and upgrades between versions has been simple.
