Mostly that it was an ancient version, so trying to get anything even remotely recent running on it was nearly impossible. But also that even when we upgraded to the next version, all of the libraries were still outdated. It’s like running software that’s old enough to drive.

Yeah that's the whole Enterprise LTS issue. RHEL is the same, as is Ubuntu after a literal decade of LTS support.

I am so happy that we have podman in RHEL 8. Rootless podman containers with distrobox are a godsend in these software geography dig sites that have to pass for a workshop.
