CentOS Stream 10 Gains Traction with Extended Support and Enhanced Hardware Compatibility

Since its official release, CentOS Stream 10 codenamed "Coughlan" has continued to gain popularity among enterprise users and developers. The distribution, which comes with Linux kernel 6.12, offers improved performance optimizations for AMD and Intel 64-bit processors, particularly focusing on the v3 microarchitecture level. CentOS Stream 10 provides broad hardware architecture support, including ARM 64-bit (ARMv8.0-A), IBM Power (POWER9), and IBM Z (z14), ensuring scalability for specialized workloads. A key update in this version is the transition from modularity to traditional RPM packages, streamlining the software delivery process for more predictable and stable production environments. Additionally, it includes updated software components such as Python 3.12, GCC 14, PostgreSQL 16, and Nginx 1.26, along with GNOME 47 and Wayland as the default desktop environment. CentOS guarantees support for Stream 10 until at least 2030, making it a reliable long-term platform.
