With enhanced package management through DNF, built-in support for AppStreams, and optimized virtualization capabilities, CentOS 8 was a top choice for IT professionals, developers, and businesses. Its SELinux security enhancements and TLS 1.3 support made it a secure and dependable operating system.

However, CentOS 8 reached End of Life (EOL) on December 31, 2021. It no longer receives updates or official support. Users are encouraged to migrate to alternatives such as AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, or Oracle Linux for continued stability and security.
