|
| |
+ ## Introduction
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ Welcome to CentOS Stream 10 "Coughlan",
|
| |
+ the latest version of the CentOS Project distribution.
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ CentOS Stream defines Enterprise Linux.
|
| |
+ It is a Linux distribution built by Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) engineers,
|
| |
+ and is used as the major version branch that RHEL minor versions are created from.
|
| |
+ It has roughly a five year lifecycle and will be maintained until 2030.
|
| |
+ The exact date will be contingent on the end of the Full Support phase of RHEL 10.
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ ## Architectures
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ CentOS Stream 10 uses the Linux 6.12 kernel,
|
| |
+ which provides support for the following architectures.
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ * x86\_64 (v3)
|
| |
+ * aarch64
|
| |
+ * ppc64le (power9)
|
| |
+ * s390x (z14)

|
| |
+
|

| |
+ Packages in the BaseOS repository are intended to provide the core set of operating system functionality.
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ ### AppStream
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ Packages in the AppStream repository include additional user-space applications, runtime languages, and databases
|
| |
+ to accomodate various workloads and use cases.
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ ### CRB
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ Packages in the CRB repository are intended to accomodate development use cases.
|
| |
+
|
| |

|

|
| |
+ ## Removed functionality
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ CentOS Stream 10 does not include some packages that were previously included in CentOS Stream 9.
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ ### Xorg server
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ Xorg server (`xorg-x11-server-Xorg`) is no longer included.
|
| |
+ Wayland is the default display stack,
|
| |
+ with Xwayland (`xorg-x11-server-Xwayland`) available as a compatibility layer for legacy X11 applications.
|
| |
+ You can read more about this transition in the blog post
|
| |
+ [Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 plans for Wayland and Xorg server](https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/rhel-10-plans-wayland-and-xorg-server).
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ ### Desktop applications
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ Most graphical desktop applications have been removed.
|
| |
+ This includes:
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ * Firefox
|
| |
+ * GIMP
|
| |
+ * LibreOffice
|
| |
+ * Inkscape
|
| |
+ * Thunderbird
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ RHEL is transitioning to providing desktop applications via Flatpak.
|
| |
+ CentOS users who want these applications are encouraged to install them from
|
| |
+ [Flathub](https://flathub.org) or
|
| |
+ [request them in EPEL](https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/epel-package-request/).
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ ### Redis
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ Redis has been replaced with Valkey, a Redis fork.
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ ## Known issues
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ ### Secureboot
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ At this time, CentOS Stream 10 does not work with secureboot enabled.
|
| |
+ This is currently blocked on [a shim review](https://github.com/rhboot/shim-review/issues/454).
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ ## More information
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ This page is intended as an overview of the basic properties of CentOS Stream 10,
|
| |
+ but it is not an exhaustive list of all changes and topics.
|
| |
+ The [RHEL 10 Beta documentation](https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_enterprise_linux/10-beta/)
|
| |
+ provides additional notes and guides which mostly apply to CentOS Stream as well.

As discussed as few times at the promo meetings and in chat, we should have proper release notes. This creates that page and adds a link to it (and the existing CS9 release notes) on the downloads page. It also adds a link to it from the header documentation dropdown.
