Why are you switching?

They are very different distros run in very different ways. There are
significantly philosophical differences.

But while CentOS Linux is dead, and CentOS Stream isn't the same thing
at all, there are alternatives.

Rocky is pretty close to the old CentOS Linux.

Alma is trying to improve the distro to bring it a bit closer to how
things work in the free world. As in, where version-to-version
upgrades are _normal_ and just work, where old hardware doesn't just
stop working because some big business whose stuff you don't use said
it wasn't supported any more.

I worked for RH. I do not much like the RH family of distros, myself.
But they have their community.

Sure, I kind of prefer the Debian way, and Ubuntu makes Debian hurt less.

But if you're steeped in CentOS then what's wrong with Alma Linux?
