I may give CentOS a try one of these days as I've always heard great
things about it, but my servers will most likely always run Arch.

Considering CentOS is being end-of-lifed soon (as of June 30), there probably isn't much point in trying it now.

CentOS 8's EOL is soon. CentOS 9 has just begun. :)

... Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.

I ran CentOS for a long time in a datacenter environment for headless servers. It was really just an alternative to RHEL at the time and I never regretted it from a security and ease-of-use standpoint. It's been a few years now since I've used it, but I'll have to check out 9.

Previous CentOS were all just copies
of RHEL with all the "RedHat" images
taken out. If I remember correctly, the
new CentOS releases will be based on
Fedora instead. Does that jive, or am I
misremembering?

Long story short: CentOS Stream (the new CentOS) is only CentOS in name. The new plan is for CentOS Stream to be for Red Hat Enterprise Linux what Debian Testing is to Debian Stable.
