CentOS (Community Enterprise Operating System) is a free and open-source Linux distribution that is widely used for server environments. It is designed to be a community-supported alternative to Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), providing a stable and enterprise-grade platform by maintaining full binary compatibility with RHEL. CentOS is popular among developers, businesses, and web hosting services because it offers a robust, secure, and reliable system without the subscription fees required by RHEL. However, in 2020, Red Hat shifted the focus of CentOS to CentOS Stream, a rolling-release version that acts as a development branch for future RHEL releases, prompting many users to look for alternatives such as AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux for stability-focused environments.
