I've run hosting on on WHM/Cpanel for about 15 years running on Centos. I have limited Ubuntu experience and mostly considered it the preferable option for a workstation Linux O/S alternative to Windows but realize it is a fine choice for a server O/S also.
So is there any consensus or major pros/cons on the possible paths to moving off Centos 7.9. No big rush since it's supported until 2024 but I'm thinking of migrating sooner as I already ran into one small problem is I can't update Google-Chrome package anymore on Centos 7.9 due to dependence on GLIBC 2.18 and Centos 7 can't go beyond GLIBC 2.17. Not urgent as I can stick with old Chrome version for a while (used for a scraping utility I wrote.)
Wonder what other SysAdmins think? (a) Wait for "official" Ubuntu support, (b) upgrade to CloundLinux + (can this really be done without having to reinstall Cpanel?) (c) upgrade to AlmaLinux? (d) other?
