thanks!

My exact thoughts were “Why in the world… Just… A name change? Really?”

starwind converter can export to a qemu image though, which can them import into proxmox.

I used the converter to move from hyper-v to proxmox just last month.

But what are the ramifications of doing away with the “free” version of RHEL in the form of centos/alma/rocky?

Personally, I never ran anything with CentOS, and haven’t touched RedHat since version 6, but I am very very comfortable spinning something up in Ubuntu or Debian at work because that’s what I’ve run on home and personal projects for the past 15 years. Although at work we are a windows shop, and few things are running Linux.

When the community doesn’t have as much experience and hands-on time with RHEL spin-offs, are the sysadmins that would make the call on what OS to use going to choose one they have little to no experience on? Or is red hat so ingrained into corporate type networks that nobody will blink at the choice and just do it?

I think you were trying to post to !sysadmin@lemmy.world, right? you posted this as a comment

that’s a fair question, but I thought the point of lemmit was to serve as a content link to aid the adoption of lemmy, and since I use the sysadmin subreddit for alerts on outages, thought it might be nice to get those same posts on lemmy so I don’t have to venture over to reddit.
