Folks
I've been trying to convert my systems to Centos 8, seeing the EOL on the horizon a few years away. One of my systems is a Mac-Mini, and support for that has been discontinued. I'm wondering what the community suggests among these alternatives:
I can't be specific since you didn't say how you're using the Mini. You don't even say if the Mini is PPC, i386, or x86_64.
- Stay with Centos 7 even after EOL hoping market pressures will
add Mac-Mini support
My guess is that RH will focus on the server market.
- Spend a few hundred dollars on a small, **quiet** replacement
(ugh)
2a) Stay on C7 until EOL (in 4 years). Then re-evaluate your hardware needs and availablilty.
Convert to the Debian/Ubuntu distro.
Hope someone figures out a solution.
Beware. This might end up being very fragile.
5) Switch to Fedora which has better hardware support and more software.
