What is CentOS Stream?

CentOS Stream is a Linux distribution. In other words, CentOS Stream is a version of the Linux operating system that includes a specific set of software & features. It is an open-source, community-driven product and it is free to use.

CentOS Stream is derived from the source code of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). RHEL is a popular and widely-used commercial Linux distribution, developed and maintained by Red Hat Inc.

CentOS Stream is designed to provide early access to the next release of RHEL.

CentOS Stream 9 includes the dnf package manager, which allows users to search for, install, update, and remove packages.
