More about Red Hat's decision to make CentOS Stream the primary repository for RHEL sources.

Some mix of wrong and right, the exact proportions of which I’ll leave as an exercise to the reader.

    More recently, we have determined that there isn’t value in having a downstream rebuilder.

    Alright, well, there it is in plain English. They’re killing downstream clones like Rocky, Alma, etc.

    I have to wonder how this is going to affect software which officially only supports (insert RHEL clone here). I use DaVinci Resolve for work every day, historically they’ve only supported CentOS, and just recently they started supporting Rocky as well. VFX isn’t my wheelhouse, but I know the situation is basically the same for those programs as well.

      I am actually wondering whether they’ll start considering a Flatpak version of Resolve. Seems like Blackmagic is reluctant to support anything other than RHEL and CentOS, and RedHat seems to be moving towards Flatpak anyways, given their recent move to stop shipping LibreOffice.

      Resolve Studio has worked well for me on Pop!_OS with NVIDIA GPU and many others have success with Ubuntu, Debian, etc. Only hiccups are related to decklink drivers and very recent kernels, but the BMD Linux forum typically has patches posted before I have problems.
