The most significant source of dissatisfaction was the decision to transform CentOS from a downstream rebuild of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) to CentOS Stream, a rolling-release distribution closely tied to the RHEL development process. This change meant that CentOS would receive updates and features ahead of RHEL, making it more of a development preview rather than a stable, production-ready distribution. Some users preferred the traditional CentOS model, which provided a stable and predictable platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
