OL really looks nice and as expected very similar to CentOS. Someone mentioned that KVM is a paid feature but I don't think that's really the case, does someone know more? Two things to mention are: - The Oracle EPEL seems not fully up to date. - DNF shows a weird behavior: 'dnf check-upgrade' shows .src packages which is something I've never seen before. Any ideas why? I've already updates our package monitoring to filter out .src pckages. Apart from that I've tested most packages of our inhouse repo and didn't see any issues. That said, I'd really like to jump directly to RockyLinux but that's something for the long run, not for today.
