Oracle 19c works well on Linux 8.3
What do you like best about the product?
Oracle 19c database works well on Linux server, stable, perform well
What do you dislike about the product?
Some Linux 8.3 patching still requires server restart, (kernel glibc, Linux firmware,systems,dbus) so it requires the database to be shutdown.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The kernel settings are important on Linux server, ensure following the kernel settings on Oracle installation guide.
If the kernel settings are wrong, CPU and memory parameter settings on the databases will not be what you are expected.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Linux 8.3 is reliable, fast and stable. I recommend it because it is a lot cheaper than many other operating system
Compatible with RedHat operating systems, stable and easy to set up
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
Orlacle Linux has provided a redhat compatible open source OS for diverse needs. We smoothly run on Oracle OS; KVM virtualization environment, Postgesql databases, Zabbix, Grafana, Fluentd and other observability tools. We have seen a remarkable improvement as DNS queries are fast and the platforms can be easily secured with no worries of security issues arising due to unpatched systems.
What is most valuable?
There is full compatibility with RedHat-based operating systems, in particular Centos, which we widely deployed before Oracle Linux (OL).
What needs improvement?
For usability, the GUI options during the initial setup could be included with advanced OS tuning and optimization, currently as with most Linux systems that can be done via CLI.
