That regularly happens to me too :)

Yeah centos stream is what it is now, they move quickly like fedora does, its the closest upstream to RHEL from what I understand, heavily RH funded irrc. Rocky and Alma are variants that attempt to be RHEL compatible. Lately I lean toward Alma when I want a mindless server distro. centos stream is fast moving of fedora, and the base of RHEL. So it only supports < 10 y/o hardware and drops hardware support quick so it's been tough for me to run well even on modern VMs.

Yeah that was fucked up.
