Good news for enterprise environments: Blender 2.80 now complies with the requirements of CentOS, a Linux distribution that provides a free, enterprise-class, community-supported computing platform functionally compatible with its upstream source, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (Wikipedia).
Blender nightly builds (and the upcoming 2.80 release) is now officially supported on CentOS, which makes it compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, which opens the door to everyone including major studios to use Blender out of the box. Yay!

Ugh. And how long before it joins the likes of Allegorithmic, Autodesk, the Foundary and others that won’t officially support *anything but* CentOS? Leaving us “regular” Linux users who don’t want to use CentOS out in the cold.
I don't think you have any reason to suggest that, so this is just FUD.
This is great news, no more surgery required to keep blender running in our centos 7 setup. Lewis, you should ask weta who are pretty big and run a debian based centos how they manage to run all those expensive tools.
I'm currently running Blender 2.8 on OpenSuse.
Trying to figure out what your point actually is Lewis?
Yay and suddenly Centos update support will go EOL 2024. So where to next, Fedora? Silverblue? Ubuntu? Debian? PopOS?
