I was having issues with my Plex server and Virtualbox with CentOS/RHEL when 8 was released initially.  I switched to Fedora and it works fine.  Those issues are probably fixed but I feel no motivation to switch back.

IIRC, Fedora is like Ubuntu is such that it gets more frequent updates 
from upstream sources.  CentOS 8 has a "Stream" version which is 
basically, from what I can tell, their version of Fedora.
