What are the important, distinguishing differences between RHEL8 and REHL9 one should probably know.

[-] laurelraven@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 9 months ago

One is divisible by 3 and not 2, and the other is divisible by 2 and not 3

This is very important when checking if your software packages are compatible

That is a high compatibility version for when you need to work with many different softwares at once

[-] loudWaterEnjoyer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 9 months ago

But it's 4.5, which is like (9 ÷ 2) so that kinda contradicts your first statement, doesn't it?

[-] laurelraven@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 9 months ago

Not at all! Since it's half of 9, it can therefore work with half of the software RHEL 9 is compatible with, but since the 4 is also divisible by 2, it can handle all of that software as well.

It's really quite simple, I don't see how this could be confusing at all...
