In April 2019, it was announced that feature development for Scientific Linux would be discontinued, but that maintenance will continue to be provided for the 6.x and 7.x releases through the end of their life cycles. Fermilab and CERN will utilize CentOS Stream [4] and AlmaLinux [5] for their deployment of 8.x release instead.
CentOS Stream is a community enterprise Linux distribution that exists as a midstream between the upstream development in Fedora Linux and the downstream development for Red Hat Enterprise Linux. [3] CentOS Stream is being used by Meta Platforms (known for Facebook and WhatsApp ) [ 4 ] [ 5 ] and Twitter .
With the discontinuation of Scientific Linux (announced in 2019, with support only for SL6 and SL7 until end of life), CERN now uses Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and AlmaLinux, [160] as well as CentOS 7 (until 30 June 2024); [161] whereas Fermilab uses RHEL and AlmaLinux, as well as Scientific Linux (until end of life in June 2024).
