"I've had a great experience with Oracle Linux in test environments"
What do you like best about Oracle Linux?

I like the familiar environment and feel to other RHEL based distros, including the Yum update manager and utility, it makes script creation and other automation tasks much easier to write across multiple distro environments Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle Linux?

I have had issues with installing an iso that was mounted to a USB key, however, I've experienced this issue with centos 8 also, the solution is either to re-mount the iso to the key, or just use a hypervisor and run in a VM, I have not had any issues with installation when using a hypervisor instead of a bare-metal system.
