I will appreciate it if someone can help me understand the differences between CentOS 7.x and CentOS 8.x OS. I look forward to hearing from you and thanks in advance.
Best Regards,

In short, CentOS 7.x is based on Fedora 19 while CentOS 8 is based on Fedora 28. Most of what is in those Fedora’s is also in coresponding CentOS version. Fedora’s might be much easier to compare.
Thank you for this simple analogy. Not even close to being ready for CentOS 8 but a good reference for when I am.
This sort of cuts across two discussion threads but I found this one first. Silly question: has anyone tried using the Mate or Xfce Fedora
28 spins as package sources with CentOS 8?
I’m not a fan of Gnome 3 so would like to get Xfce up and running on CentOS 8 with a minimum of effort. I’m thinking the folks asking about Mate in the other thread have the same sentiment.
Cheers, Dave

I think someone did post recently that he took Mate from F28
and with some judicious tweaking of the spec file got it built and working on C8. Sorry, I have no details.
Hopefully, the perpetrator will ‘fess up and provide the details.

Here is what I did to have working MATE from Fedora 28 repositories (did not recompile anything):

This is great information, Ljubomir. Thank you very much. I’ll try to validate your process this weekend using F28 as you did. That should yield an older MATE v1.16. With that in hand, I’ll try to re-run the procedure using the counterpart MATE v1.22 packages from Rawhide.

that the same process has a good chance of working as long as the dependencies are the right version. I’ll post steps of road blocks.
BTW, I tend to be more the Inspector Clouseau type!
