I was having issues with my Plex server and Virtualbox with CentOS/RHEL when 8 was released initially. I switched to Fedora and it works fine. Those issues are probably fixed but I feel no motivation to switch back.

from upstream sources. CentOS 8 has a "Stream" version which is
basically, from what I can tell, their version of Fedora.
