[CentOS] Are linux distros redundant?

[Leroy Tennison]

Another point is that Ubuntu is not just a Fedora alternative, they have a long-term support option known as LTS - all the even numbered releases: 14.04 (at EOL), 16.04, 18.04 (latest).  I have heard that for 18.04 forward, they are going to a 10-year support model.  For a Fedora alternative the odd-numbered releases should be used.

I'm not really sure that the reasons for Rhel really exist anymore. The oft
quoted Library stabilty is more of a hindrance than a help in modern
development environments with well operating CI.

When the dinosaur IBM bought RH it was clear that it had become a fossil.

Of course there is still legacy applications that need that but I see a
definite shift away from OS dependant monoliths even in the more
traditional enterprises
