This distro is meant for servers, or maybe long term stable desktops you’d want in a classroom or something like that. People running servers don’t need any of the stuff you mentioned.

CentOS was free RHEL. RHEL is not intrinsically a "server" OS. I developed on a RHEL workstation at my previous job.

I'm not sure where the idea that CentOS is for servers came from.

I didn’t say you can’t use it on a desktop, just that it’s not really what it’s meant for. The issues outlined above, like sleep, Bluetooth, etc. aren’t the main things focused on.

I reject that that's not what it's meant for. It's meant to be stable and proven. The fact that makes it great for a server is irrelevant.
