[CentOS] HW update. Fedora 30 to Centos?
Due hardware update. Many years on Fedora, would like to swap out to AMD motherboard( x570) and graphics (RX480) I'm led to believe that Fedora Linux is too 'new' for Centos. Question for those with experience of both, what will I miss on Centos wrt Fedora? Not all that bothered about being 'up to the minute', and after 20+ Fedora installs it does get to be a drag... Has anyone here any 'real' drawbacks please? I'm not a power user, not a games player, just fancy a change to AMD hardware regards -- Dave Pawson XSLT XSL-FO FAQ.

Thanks Arnaud I'm looking at AMD X570 chipset and RX480 graphics (home build).

[CentOS] Centos 8 & AMD hardware?
Putting together a system build, AMD based. Ryzen 5 CPU on X570 chipset with Radeon RX480 GPU. Guessing this will be supported by Centos OK? (Unless you know different! :-) ) https://www.amd.com/en/support/graphics/radeon-400-series/radeon-rx-400-series/radeon-rx-480 Shows driver support. Does Centos repo's hold these drivers or do I download after the install please? TiA -- Dave Pawson XSLT XSL-FO FAQ.

Thanks Stephen, that was my logic, but only every year or two.
