Rewritten Title: “CentOS Linux’s Latest Distro Absorbs Stream of Updates from RHEL Codebase as it Continues to Evolve – The Register”

“Experience Stream: The Revolutionary New Linux Distro from Red Hat and CentOS”

CentOS, the popular Linux distro, has exciting news for developers! They can now dive into Stream, a groundbreaking new distro created with the code intended for the upcoming minor release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).
Some may be surprised that it’s not Fedora Linux, which is also based on early RHEL code. However, Fedora is a free distribution with a twice-yearly release cycle designed for testing and developing new features.
But Red Hat’s connection with CentOS is relatively recent. In 2014, they joined forces to create a community-supported distro using RHEL code, but with more flexibility for customization.

Now, Red Hat and CentOS have taken their collaboration to the next level with CentOS Stream. This new distro will track the next minor release of RHEL and allow developers to see what’s coming up, making it easier for them to troubleshoot, introduce new features, and provide feedback on bugs.
Think of it as a midstream between the fast-paced development of Fedora and the final release of RHEL. It’s the perfect opportunity for developers to stay ahead of the game and contribute to the RHEL platform development cycle.
CentOS Stream is a response to the challenges faced by CentOS Special Interest Groups when new minor versions of the operating system were released. By introducing updates more frequently, developers can make incremental changes and contribute fixes in a timely manner.
Don’t worry, the original CentOS Linux distro is still available, as well as a standard CentOS Linux 8 and an update for CentOS Linux 7.
But unless you’re a developer working on software for CentOS or RHEL, you may not want to bother with Stream. It’s mainly intended for testing and providing feedback to improve Red Hat’s products before release.
Similar to Microsoft’s Insider program, Fedora and CentOS Stream provide a way for the community to participate in the development process. It may be a bit confusing at first, but it’s all in the name of creating the best possible Linux distro.
