CentOS 7-1708, RedHat 7.4 equivalent is finally out.
GNOME 3.22. Great distribution.
CentOS kernels get janky after about year four. There's only so much you can backport to an older kernel without causing stability issues.

It's my own experience dealing with CentOS 5 and 6 in the waning years of their support cycles, at datacenter scale, in hosting. People start deliberately sticking to older patch levels of the kernel because newer ones break hardware compatibility or introduce new bugs.

can not confirm this at all, having worked with with both rhel and centos since version 5. true that you can only backport so much but that all boils down to the major version change that linux had during version 6 from 2.6 to 3, though regarding stability within its own ecosystem it just runs and it runs for ages. we have some legacy systems that still run rhel5 at work and they work like a charm, like any centos would as well.
stop spreading bullshit, thanks

I brought mine up to kernel 4.4-lt just to just grab VFIO support.
It's actually quite nice.
The ml kernel is up to date as fuck. Literally hot off the compiler kernels.

Is it as stable as people say?
