On: Transitioning from Docker to Podman

[josephcsible]

If you want to use btrfs on RHEL8, you still can: go to https://elrepo.org/ and install elrepo-release, then install kernel-ml from their -kernel repo and btrfs-progs from their -testing repo.

... at which point you lose the support you're paying for from Red Hat, thus defeating the purpose of using RHEL in the first place.

So if you want to use Btrfs, you might as well use it on something besides RHEL.

Running an unsupported kernel doesn't mean that support won't help you at all. It just means they won't help you with kernel-related issues. There's still a lot of value in support for the rest of the system.

I have heard that they will still try to help you, they just won't guarantee it works on btrfs.
