I am sorry you feel that way. I was trying to help. Red Hat has
several programs where they give away RHEL for free. CentOS Stream is
free. CentOS Linux 8 is going away in at the end of 2021.
Those are facts.
He said he wanted free Linux and did not want to interact with the
community. I provided all the alternatives that i know for that.
Stream, a qualified version of RHEL that can be obtained from Red Hat
for free (has nothing to do with CentOS) or some other distribution.
I am not being arrogant or negative. Just pointing out facts.
I have been doing this for 17 years. I would continue doing for 17
more. But it is what it is and wishing for it to be different is not
going to happen. I know .. I've tried.
