CERN Transitioning to Debian After Being a Longtime RHEL Institution

CERN has announced plans to migrate its Linux fleet from Red Hat Enterprise Linux-derived systems to Debian. The move follows a decade with CentOS after previously running Scientific Linux, and CERN cited the -march=x86-64-v2 compiler flag as a driver of obsolescence for older hardware. The transition aims to have more than 2,200 industrial computers and embedded systems running Debian 13 by the end of 2026, though officials noted challenges with tooling for automated package building and multi-version support.
