CentOS8 official system release and experience support Python 3.6 by default

According to the estimated time, it was released yesterday CentOS8 official version Although CentOS8 system is not installed in the background of major host companies, some netizens directly install it on the server or local desktop from the official image. The CentOS8 version has changed a lot this time, based on Fedora 28 and kernel version 4.18. Lao Zuo used a lot from his home in CentOS6, but not much from CentOS7, mainly because he was not used to security groups and some tools. Later, he used Debian and Ubuntu all the time.

According to the official introduction, we can see that the minimum required memory for the new version of CentOS8 server is 2GB, and the running memory is 4GB, which is relatively high for the configuration. In the future, we may need to improve the configuration of the server application to get enough running space. Lao Zuo also installed CentOS8 CentOS-8-x86_64-1905-dvd at the first time to see what the interface is different.

The desktop interface is basically the same.

Then we can test and see that Python 3.6 is the default, higher than the previous Python 2.7 version, and we do not need to upgrade.

Netizens who need Linux desktop system can directly install this version, and can use Firefox's desktop function for foreign trade operations. Here Lao Zuo also collates several official mirror versions:
