If you like the RH user interface, just get the gnome-session-flashback
package. It's a slightly updated gnome-2 environment.
End excerpt.
Ubuntu has many window management user interfaces. If one likes Gnome
2, also consider MATE that is available and works under LTS (the

I don't know how welcome this point of view is, but, here goes.
I started on RH 4.1, back before kernel modules, before ppp was part of the
kernel, etc (1997). After a brief detour to suse, I changed to Debian and
stayed there for ten years. The package management system is way cleaner than
I am planning to move to Ubuntu LTS rather than even touch EL8. If I need a
package that Ubuntu doesn't have but Debian does, I can just grab it and
install, and it will work. The only reason that I used EL for as long as I did
was the SystemV/Upstart management of startup. Now taht

These instructions are insecure, set you up for a supply-chain attack:
a) RPMs are loaded over plain "http" (no "https")
b) RPM signature is not checked
A more secure sequence would:

I have not tried RHEL yet, but I have some success converting from CentOS 8 to
Springdale 8 on a VM. Here are some instruction I found on rocky linux forum
dnf update -y
rpm -e --nodeps centos-backgrounds centos-indexhtml centos-gpg-keys
centos-linux-release centos-linux-repos centos-logos
rpm
If in doubt, i always did a fresh install, so never had a messup.
Conversion? Never ever. Dot.
I am running SL7.9 of FermiLab now. Im sure RH will continue to share
updates. There is no spilt milk, why cry?
If needed, i will have a follower OS prepared in good time ready to
switch to.

Same here. We build experiments that are

We will be following CERN and Fermilab's lead, whatever that is.
But the longer we go without knowing, the more uncomfortable we get.
Anybody have any inside information on their thinking?
