Where do I go now that CentOS Linux is gone? Check our list – Ars Technica

In an unexpected announcement earlier this week, Red Hat killed off the free-as-in-beer CentOS variant of its flagship distribution, Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

The announcement—which clearly stated “CentOS Stream is not a replacement for CentOS Linux”—left thousands of CentOS users stunned and bewildered. In many cases, CentOS users had migrated to CentOS 8—which they expected to receive support until 2029—only to find out that their “until-2029” distro had become an “until-2021” distro just a few months after they’d installed it in the first place.

I can’t pretend this is good news for CentOS users, but I can offer some good news: CentOS might be dead, but it’s far from your only option for a “rebuild” distro that’s binary-compatible with RHEL. Let’s take a look at a few of the most likely options below.

1. CentOS Stream

I know, I know—put the pitchforks down! Many now-former CentOS users are much too mad at Red Hat to consider migrating to CentOS Linux’s “not-replacement,” CentOS Stream. But despite Red Hat CTO Chris Wright’s bald-faced declaration that Stream is not a replacement for CentOS Linux… for an awful lot of users, it very easily could be.

Before this week, the relationship between CentOS Linux and Red Hat Enterprise Linux was, effectively, “it’s the same thing, but without the branding and the support.” In a lot of ways, that relationship will continue to be true. CentOS Stream and Red Hat Enterprise Linux will still track very closely to one another. The new relationship works like this:

RHEL version x.0 forks from Fedora
CentOS Stream version x forks from RHEL version x.0
Development work for RHEL x.1 is done in CentOS Stream version x repos
RHEL x.1 forks from CentOS Stream version x

…

RHEL version y.0 forks from Fedora
CentOS Stream version y forks from RHEL y.0
Development work for RHEL x.2 is done in CentOS Stream version x repos
Development work for RHEL y.1 is done in CentOS Stream version y repos
RHEL x.2 forks from CentOS Stream x
RHEL y.1 forks from CentOS Stream y

And so forth. So, while CentOS Stream is something of a rolling release, it’s a limited one—it rolls from one minor version to the next, but its major version is stable and tracks Fedora’s. A CentOS Stream 8 user won’t be forced to dogfood RHEL 9 code any earlier than a CentOS Linux 8 user would have.

What’s lost here is the ability to control when you perform a minor version upgrade on your system. A user on RHEL 8.x can decide when they’re ready to upgrade to RHEL 8.y, whereas a CentOS Stream 8 user will seamlessly and automatically flow through the states that are frozen to become RHEL minor releases.

If you’re the type who would pull the trigger on a CentOS minor release on the day it launches, this is a no-brainer—just migrate to Stream and be done with it. It will effectively be the same experience you’re used to, with less work. You won’t need to do the minor-release upgrades at all any more, they just happen automatically.

If you need minor-release control as well as major—or you’re just too mad at Red Hat to want to continue using a product under their direct control and are determined to move downstream—read on. I’ve got more options for you. Some of them are even good!

2. Oracle Linux

Yes, Oracle. Here we go with the pitchforks again, right? Well, Oracle Linux is 100 percent application binary compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux. It’s a “rebuild distro” based on RHEL’s sources and not much else, just like CentOS Linux was.

If all you need or want is a free-as-in-beer distro that tracks RHEL precisely, Oracle Linux might be your new home. The distro has been around for a while, and it’s got the backing of one of the world’s biggest IT companies. Then again, moving to Oracle because you found Red Hat’s governance arbitrary and oppressive is a pretty odd flex.

Oracle Linux as a replacement for CentOS probably makes the most sense for shops that already have a large Oracle presence.

3. Cloud Linux

CloudLinux OS is a RHEL rebuild distro designed for shared hosting providers. CloudLinux OS itself probably isn’t the free replacement for CentOS anyone is looking for—it’s more akin to RHEL itself, with subscription fees necessary for production use.

However, the CloudLinux OS maintainers have announced that they’ll be releasing a 1:1 replacement for CentOS in Q1 2021. The new fork will be a “separate, totally free OS that is fully compatible with RHEL 8 and future versions.”

There are a few upsides to this upcoming fork. CloudLinux OS has been around for a while, and it has a pretty solid reputation. The new fork they’re announcing won’t be a big challenge for Cloud—they’re already forking RHEL regularly and tracking changes to maintain the full CloudLinux OS. All they really need to do is make certain they separate out their own branding and additional, license-only premium features.

This should also be a very easy upgrade for CentOS 8 users—there’s already a very easy one-script migration path from CentOS to the full CloudLinux OS. Converting from CentOS to “the new fork” should be just as simple and without the registration step necessary for the full Cloud Linux.

SparkyLinux GameOver Is a Winning Work-Play Combo – LinuxInsider

The SparkyLinux GameOver 3.4 Edition may be one of the best Linux distros catering to game players you will find. It is a full-service specialty Linux OS with a focus on gaming.Linux distro developers usually do one of two things about games. One, they provide none or only a few low-impact card and puzzle titles. Two, they build in links to the PlayOnLinux and Steam websites.

Historically, few Linux distros have catered to serious game playing. The few that did are mostly now discontinued or inactive. One exception is Zorin 8 Gaming, which comes with a modest inventory of higher-end Linux games.

Still, topnotch access to leading desktop games is rarely something that Linux provides. That is what makes SparkyLinux GameOver so extraordinary.

This SparkyLinux game edition builds in access to a large collection of popular games compiled for the Linux platform. It brings the latest game fare via the Steam and Desura platforms. It provides handy access from a quick launch bar to a dozen plus emulators to let you run top-line games from leading gaming boxes and platforms.

GameOver does not wimp out on providing all of the needed everyday computing tools found in other Linux distros, either. It provides nearly all of the standard Linux applications out-of-the-box, so you do not have to install them on your own.

Under the Hood

The SparkyLinux family is built on the GNU/Linux Debian Testing release (Debian Jessie 8.0) and is available in 32-bit and 64-bit options that support i486 and x86 machines. It is designed for both old and new computers.

The GameOver Edition, released on July 17, is based on the SparkyLinux 3.4 Annagerman release of late June. The game version includes gaming optimizations and gaming applications in the default repositories that are absent in the regular versions.

GameOver runs on the LXLE desktop. Well suited for a gaming distribution, it is a lightweight, fast and simple environment.

The LXLE desktop enviornment is a capable vehicle to handle GameOver’s stuffed menus and specialty launcher panel.

The Annagerman versions offer desktop options in MATE 1.8; XFCE 4.10; Base — which is OpenBox 3.5.2-6; Razor-Qt; and a Command Line Interface (CLI) version. The regular edition also has an Enlightenment desktop version.

Games Galore

GameOver earns a high score with Linux gamers. They get the best of both worlds. Unlike using a branded game console, users can do real work on the same Linux distro they turn on for playing their favorite games. I am not talking about a link to PlayOnLinux or Steam or specialty game packages installed as third-party add-ons.

This distro provides four essential access points to game inventories. This access is integrated into a well-oiled Linux desktop machine.

For example, SparkyLinux GameOver Edition brings access to games compiled for the Linux platform. It adds access to games available from the Steam and Desura platforms. It also has preconfigured access to games created for the Microsoft Windows platform Wine, and PlayOnLinux. It even provides access to classic games created for discontinued machines and systems via emulators.

Foo Billiards Plus is an awesome game on the GameOver desktop.

Emulator Envy

Having one or two game system emulators is nice. GameOver is much more than nice. It gives Linux users a one-stop work and play computing platform. It includes nearly every game emulator created.

These emulators are not lost within a deep menu list. Rather, the emulators launch from their own LX Panel separate from the main system panel at the bottom of the screen. By default, the game emulator panel is at the top of the screen. Access the panel settings with a right-click to change panel settings. This lets you place the emulator panel on any screen edge.

The default background in SparkyLinux GameOver shows a Conky widget of system resources and the emulator dock.

Here is a rundown on all the good stuff you get:

DeSmuME – emulator for Nintendo DS games
DOSBox – DOS system emulator
MAME – arcade games emulator + GUI front-end GNOME Video Arcade
NEStopia – Nintendo Entertainment System emulator
PCSX Reloaded – Sony PlayStation emulator
Stella – Atari 2600 emulator
Visual Boy Advance – Gameboy, Gameboy Advance and Gameboy Color emulator
Yabause – Sega Saturn emulator
ZSNES – emulator of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System
Desura – Digital distribution platform for indie games

Also preinstalled on the top launcher panel for games are the launchers for PlayOnLinux and Steam.

Hardware Haven

The minimum system requirements for SparkyLinux GameOver are not much different from those of other lightweight Linux distros. That is one of the benefits of the LXLE desktop.

That makes it possible to run all of the SparkyLinux editions on most computers, even older ones. For instance, the processor needs are i486 / amd64.

The memory requirement is 256 MB of RAM. However, if your hardware comes close to this minimum, some of the games will not run. They will from 500 to 1,000 MB.

You can get by with 20 GB of space for installation on a hard drive, but having 30 GB is better. You need 16 GB of space on a USB drive for normal installation, but 32 GB is recommended.

Strong Contender

If you are a newcomer to the Linux OS, do not be mislead by the terminology. The LXLE 0.5.5-6 desktop environment is the lightweight component. This is a relative term. It uses fewer system resources than other Linux desktop options.

Being lightweight has nothing to do with the overall performance of the GameOver edition, though. In that regard, this Linux distro is a heavyweight.

It uses the latest systemd as the default init server manager and runs on Kernel 3.14. It comes with support for both EFI and UEFI. This makes it much more compatible with hardware designed for Windows 8. All software packages are upgraded from Debian testing repositories as of July 3.

Software Stronghold

GameOver 3.4 comes with a handy arsenal of installed nongaming software. For typical users, the included packages will provide all the computing accessories needed.

Sparky APTus is the community’s software installer and updater. The GDebi Package Installer is also included. So is the Synaptic Package Manager.

The only installed Web browser is Iceweasel 30, the Mozilla Firefox derivative — but adding Chromium or Google Chrome is only a few clicks away.

Some Drawbacks

Do not get me wrong. The SparkyLinux line is generally very impressive in the included software department. Still, GameOver leaves some things to be desired.

One of them is a better category index in the main menu. Many of the standard categories — such as graphics and accessories, and Internet — appear to be sparse. However, as you scroll through the seemingly endless list of entries in the category labeled “Other,” you see literally dozens of titles that clearly should be listed elsewhere.

Another drawback is the absence of some packages that should be included by default as a convenience to users who want more power out of the box than just gaming strength.

For instance, staples such as OpenOffice or LibreOffice suite are not included. Neither is GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program).

Bottom Line

If you are into serious gaming and do not want to leave Linux behind, the GameOver 3.4 Edition of SparkyLinux is definitely a winning combination. It gives you all of the game playing software platforms and the emulators to run them.

Even if you are a recreational game player, this distro will let you play games at your own pace and do all of your everyday computing tasks from the same place. This is a win-win proposition.

Fedora Linux on M-powered Macs will be here shortly – ZDNet

They were pleased, therefore, when Gompa and Fedora knocked on their virtual door. Besides making Linux on modern Macs more accessible, Martin said that the Asahi team could focus “on what we do best: reverse engineer hardware and develop bespoke drivers and software. But not only that, but it also means we can offer an even better experience for Linux on Apple Silicon users.”

For example, Gompa explained that Fedora Workstation will be available on the M1/M2 hardware in GNOME and KDE versions. These are essentially the “spins just tweaked and enabled to ship on Apple silicon hardware.” There’s also a server and minimal installation. The Fedora KDE variant is the flagship of this new Fedora family Linux.

What does that mean for you? Gompa explained: “You can buy a Mac Mini and run it keep it in your bedroom, and not hate your life.” Cavalca added, “If you’re just doing simple stuff like a browser and some documents and whatever, it’s actually in a good working state. I use it as a daily driver.”

Also: The most important reason you should be using Linux at home

Apple remains uninvolved in this port, which can be a problem. For example, Linux audio speaker support is a real problem because, Gompa said, “there’s no firmware on the speakers to actually keep them from blowing up there. It’s all entirely software controlled by the operating system. So you can pump as much volume as you want. And you can fry them.” He added: “Going to an Apple store to repair your laptop after you’ve blown up the speakers like that is a dicey move.”

It’s not all a pain, however. Gompa observed:

“Apple’s like every other normal PC maker. They don’t actually change everything all the bloody time because it makes their own software development lives hell. So what they’ve done is built an internal standard platform, and they build on top of that for every successive platform. So a lot of the stuff we built originally for the M1, also worked for the M1 Pro, M1 Max, M2, and so on. On top of that, Apple has a high tendency of reusing its hardware configurations across generations. So a lot of the drivers’ stuff we’ve done has essentially been able to be one-to-one reuse. The main thing is that oftentimes ports change and the internal configuration for device reasons, whatever, but the actual drivers and enablement work tends not to be too bad. Sometimes there are some new quirks that must be dealt with. But that’s no different than what happens on x86.”

Martin added: “We’re still working out the kinks and making things even better, so we are not quite ready to call this a release yet. We aim to officially release the Fedora Asahi Remix by the end of August 2023. Look forward to many new features, machine support, and more.”

Looking ahead, Martin proclaimed, “The new Asahi Linux flagship distribution will be Fedora Asahi Remix!”
