For what it's worth, we decided on a chromium based browser on SL7, but not
Chrome or Chromium itself. We are using Vivaldi, which does have working rpms
on SL7, except for one thing - it doesn't support "proprietary media codecs".
So far this isn't much of an issue.

Honestly, I've seen a lot of the FLOSS community prefer Rocky over Alma, and I
think it's because Rocky is actually not backed by any company. However, we see
how that went before, and I just think Rocky as described is ripe for CENTOS

So a couple things,
One, it's trivial to use a different DE from EPEL, so we replace GNOME with
XFCE4, but you probably can find a DE you like? Two, why pay for VMWare

I just installed and used XFCE4 to replace Gnome desktop. Works fine on SL7.
Not sure how CENTOS8 will turn out.
