Wasn't ".local" and Avahi/Bonjour/mDNS/ZeroConf non-traditional

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.
I don't know much about Avahi/Bonjour/mDNS/ZeroConf I think it is/was a way to shoehorn
Linux into some Windows environments. I hardly had to deal with that.
I also didn't deal much with SMB as only ever had a couple of Windows systems. Now None.
And the companies I worked for had staff that dealt with that. Not to toot my horn, I did have
to come to their rescue from time to time. It didn't make it any easier with their horrible understanding
of networking.
I really just setup Centos7 to see if I could replicate the difficulty the OP was having. Frankly, I
had no issues so I can't comment on that.
Happy all is well. Wondering why on earth you've not upgraded your
systems to Centos8 :-) :-)
I have a server on CentOS 7. 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.
I don't really use CentOS. I just keep basic installs as VM's in the case they come up
as being used by someone else.
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.
I do need to see what direction CentOS is now talking. If only for "educational"
purposes only. I don't intend to become a "subject matter expert" :-)
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. For me they are more pain than
they are worth.
Slightly works on most things, only fully works on the same system as
the programmer used...
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).
Yes, I think some of your comments on this list about Flatpaks assisted in keeping me
away from them. :-) :-)
