Chose Oracle Linux
As CentOS Linux was nearing the end of life, we weighed up either remaining on an unsupported platform (CentOS Linux), migrating to CentOS Stream, or migrating to Oracle Linux. Oracle Linux was the best choice, as the cutting-edge nature of CentOS Stream made it unsuitable for …
Oracle Linux works very well with Oracle Database and makes it very easy to install, not to mention how good the performance is. It's also very easy to maintain and get support from vendors when needed.
Both of the alternatives provided a strong competition but Oracle Linux emerged as the absolute winner as the feature to update the kernel without downtime is a game-changer and the level of support provided is at par the market standards. Also, stability was a key decisive …
Oracle Linux became the obvious choice amongst its competitors due to its speed, agility, flexibility, and support from Oracle engineers. The ease of use was one of the major reasons for choosing Oracle Linux over the above-operating systems. Also, the cost of operations, …

As DBA I manage Oracle databases, Oracle Linux is the easiest to manage to compare other vendors. Support from the same OS and DB vendor saves a lot of time.
RedHat is going to discontinue CentOS, so Oracle is the best alternative that we have reviewed so far. We run Oracle databases and so far we have not had any major complications, but in the coming months, it will be the definitive replacement for CentOS on our part. since it is …
The Oracle Linux definitely comes on the top when it comes down to being easily available as its platform-independent. This is where the masses lie as we have moved to a hybrid work environment where keeping everyone on the same devices is no more required. Linux stands out as …
Easy to install and maintain the database and also the high availability, as DBA we prefer to use Oracle Linux because its performance together with the DB, with RHEL we could face many issues installing and maintaining the database things that definitely doesn't happen with …
Absolutely awesome. Oracle Linux is robust and faster for multiple users connections. There are many improvements in terms of security to the operating system.
It's a friendly operating system which has many actually provide space for thousands of other products even those of our competitors as Oracle. The best need is excellence in service to our members of staff who are more accustomed to products like libre office, Microsoft office …
Oracle Linux is a very good and useful combination of the stability of Rhel and support for Oracle Databases. Our organisation uses an application and a database combo that we offer to the client but after the inclusion of Oracle Linux into our infrastructure, the provision and the operation cost are reduced significantly. So I would recommend using Oracle Linux when you are using multiple on-premises DB servers and want to move to a more secure, organised, and fast operating system.
We use Oracle Linux distro for every customer. The OS is very easy and absolutely free to develop/host and update our customers' apps and data across the globe. I personally use it in my lab to practice and test some personal stuff
We have Oracle Linux database, WebLogic, and e-business suite hosted on Oracle Linux. It is used across our whole organization in running critical applications. It is robust, easy to manage and administer, with rock-solid stability and very minimal server reboots or performance issues. I would highly recommend Oracle Linux over other operating systems.
Oracle Linux is trusted in high-volume, transactional, mission-critical production IT environments.
Oracle’s Linux support is relied upon for applications that require continuous or near-continuous availability
Application performance in general was enhanced as a result of the migration to Oracle Linux from Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Oracle Linux-based VMs are used in our case for hosting a spark-based cluster for processing big data-based workloads. Those VMs have better security configurations and are patched. It has built-in installed packages which come in handy for a developer to start the development activity for the project.
We are using Oracle Linux as our primary Linux distribution deployed for our customers, but also for testing purposes on multiple test and UAT environments. Currently, it is used mainly by our department. We aim to provide commercial technical support for customers for our products, and thanks to the Oracle Linux Support program which covers Oracle Linux, we are getting assistance if needed.
I work across many different types of organizations. In some cases, Oracle Linux is being used for all database servers across the entire organization. In some cases, it is being selectively rolled out to replace legacy Unix systems. Plus in a few isolated cases, I've helped to replace Windows database servers with Oracle Linux. The common theme across all these different types of organizations is that they want the best Linux for running Oracle, which is pre-tuned and optimized as well as well supported by the database vendor. Oracle Linux wins hands down on these points.
One of the most robust Linux distributions is Redhat, its forks have given rise to infinite business models and distributions that have defined the market. Oracle Linux, obviously developed by the tech giant Oracle, is constantly releasing a flexible and incredibly stable product while adding its own bunch of new features. Among the most notable is the "Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel" (UEK).
The Oracle Linux definitely comes on the top when it comes down to being easily available as its platform-independent. This is where the masses lie as we have moved to a hybrid work environment where keeping everyone on the same devices is no more required. Linux stands out as it allows the industry workers to implement BYOD in all environments. Software as a service is truly done by Linux. I don’t want to switch to other platforms anymore.
