CentOS future?

[Fanuel]

I teach Linux+ at the local community college using the current CompTIA Linux+ book. We implemented the labs in the book too... which use Centos7. I'm curious to know if the version of Linux used in the materials will change due to the announcements about CentOS future?

Thanks!

Very good question

Rocky Linux is a great option.

I 100% agree with Fischerli

That is a great question. My response off the top of my head would be yes. The Linux+ certification will renew this summer, so there will be a new line of content and labs that will be released. I am sure the developers will be addressing changes to CentOs, either moving to CentOs Stream or another distro entirely.

Rocky Linux should be a good choice
