heard much of it so I guess it is not very popular.
It's tailored to a specific community, not exclusively, but there's

definite bias.
Before I retired I was using Scientific Linux for RHEL
"compatibility", but it appears to be orphaned with RHEL/CentOS 8:

Scientific Linux is driven by Fermilab's scientific mission and
focused on the changing needs of experimental facilities.
Fermilab is looking ahead to DUNE[1] and other future international
collaborations. One part of this is unifying our computing platform
with collaborating labs and institutions.
Toward that end, we will deploy CentOS 8 in our scientific computing
environments rather than develop Scientific Linux 8. We will
collaborate with CERN and other labs to help make CentOS an even
better platform for high-energy physics computing.
Fermilab will continue to support Scientific Linux 6 and 7 through
the remainder of their respective lifecycles. Thank you to all who
have contributed to Scientific Linux and who continue to do so.
In the past, CERN has provided scientific packages for CentOS (these
also worked in RHEL).

Wow! Fermilab, the European Center for Nuclear Physics (CERN) and other
high energy physics labs are using CentOS 8.
Looks like I should use CentOS 8 then.
