CentOS 8 Stream EOL

An upstream open-source development platform prior to release First noticed the open-source operating system lifecycle

It’s expired, what’s the problem? Besides security issues, DNF isn’t working. I noticed it failed when I recently installed a tool, and checking the mirror source revealed that it has expired.

Use Cases & Target Users
