### "Best for Linux OS"

April 6, 2022

5.0

I am using this OS in CLI mode and it performs very well it is best for my servers and hosting of websites and applications.

Pros

The best part is that it is a stable, secure, and reliable Linux operating system. Best for your application hosting and for servers.

Cons

The graphical user interface (GUI) should be more interactive so that end users can work more efficiently. Users still prefer to operate on a Windows-based operating system.

### "CentOS is simply great"

October 18, 2022

5.0

Pros

I have been using CentOS Linux for a few years, and it is hard to imagine that I could ever use anything else. It's so easy to use, and updating it is always a breeze. The security is top of the line and I never worry about my computer with this installed.

Cons

I am CentOS Linux user and fan. I have been using it for over two years and I can say that the experience is simply great. I am recommending this.

### "a fast and robust system"

July 20, 2022

5.0

we have a Zabbix service running on CentOS 8 and so far it's going perfectly without any problems, it's a very good system

Pros

It is one of the most stable and reliable, I have been using it for some time and it is excellent, we have an environment using it with Zabbix and MariaDB, for our monitoring of our equipment, it is excellent, highly recommended

Cons

I cannot say that it is something negative, you simply have to have knowledge to use the system, who does not have it, it can be a bit difficult at first

CentOs Linux is an excellent OS, perfect for many different users! One of the best features is the stability and reliability.

It's loaded down with helpful tools and packages, so it has everything that most people will need to get their jobs done effectively and efficiently.

### "My one of the favourite OS"

October 18, 2022

5.0

Pros

CentOS Linux is the best server operating system. Our company relies on it. I've been working with it for 2 years and have not found anything better or easier to use. As a Linux beginner, I find that it's easy to use and configure, but still powerful enough for more advanced users. CentOS Linux is really the only Linux distribution that you need to know about!

Cons

I just wanted to say that CentOS Linux is the best operating system of all time. The interface is sleek and very user-friendly, and they have done a great job of not adding in any bloatware or superfluous features. The price point is also fantastic and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a Windows replacement.
