I _was_ using some Oracle Linux 8 in the past and decided to use it with
Fedora EPEL. Back then Oracle EPEL was was lacking some latest packages
found in Fedora EPEL and therefore Fedora seemed the better choice.

I don't know how the situation is today because I moved to AlmaLinux with
Fedora EPEL.
