Wasn't ".local" and Avahi/Bonjour/mDNS/ZeroConf non-traditional DHCP and DNS thing? Does it still require different configuration techniques? I've always steered clear of it. Like SMB, instead of having a centrol control that you could configure to work how you wanted it, everything has some kind of round-table conference, repeatedly, and might manage to sort things out between themselves. But, like a committee of volunteers, was also likely to mismanage the whole shebang. > > Happy all is well.

I looked at 8 by temporarily installing it on another computer, and there was so many problems I'd have to resolve, without improving one particular thing that I actually cared about, that I couldn't see it being worth my while. Not long ago, 16 Nov 2021, I had one of their email press releases stating that the latest version of 8 had just been released and that it's EOL would be 31 Dec 2021. I had to check that wasn't a typo. A bit more internet noodling around suggested that if you'd chosen to use CentOS for the usual reasons (a server that you wanted to be stable), then CentOS Stream wasn't going to be what you wanted. > FWIW, I too stay away from Flatpaks.

I can't print anything using packages that didn't come from our own repos (whether that be Fedora or CentOS), it just doesn't work. And it ruins one of the chief benefits of having a distro with its own repo (everything from one central place, that usually just works because they've all been tested together). -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.53.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Jan 14 13:59:45 UTC 2022 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
