OwnCloud or NextCloud etc?

But I haven't tried NextCloud in probably a year, hence the question about the current state of things.
Proof that you are talking out your backside. Because:

Nextcloud hadn't been out for a year.
NextCloud is a fork of ownCloud 9. If you want to know more about that, search the forum here. The devs posted immediately when it happened.
NextCloud is supposed to now have a RPM based install method, but I have been too busy to test it out. If they have that worked out, then it will become my new recommendation. If they have not, then I will still recommend ownCloud for people that do not want to manually maintain everything.
NextCloud is riding the fork wave right now and is seeing rapid feature improvement and such. Time will tell if that momentum stays.

Notice how I said "probably a year"?
Sorry if I didn't have it memorized the exact date and time NextCloud was released. I'm well aware it's a fork and read all about it when it happened.
I suggest you quit trolling me for a few minutes, lol
If it makes you happy again, I'm going to give Next a try and see what happens. New year, new server, new environment.
Thread over.

Using Owncloud here for over 50 users, no problems.
What does it run on? A VM? Linux? What version? x32 or x64?
CentOS 7 x64 VM

Personal preference for OwnCloud here.

We have had production ownCloud running for a few months and havent had any issues.
Centos 7 VM on Hyper-V

You've used both? What do you feel makes ownCloud better?

If NextCloud is the current goto standard, I'll give it another go.
It's early, but seems to be the case. ownCloud was doing great, but had some issues with the latest (9th) generation of releases. Why they were having issues was clear when NextCloud split from them and started a new product with the forked code base and original developers (which kind of makes ownCloud the dead fork of NextCloud ideologically speaking) and now NextCloud is a full release past ownCloud. It's getting tons of features and work that OC lost even before the split. They are still rough around the edges, so the final verdict isn't in yet, but it's looking like NC is the future.

Is there any real advantage to nextcloud vs owncloud?
Is there any real reason to switch from owncloud to nextcloud?
Also will my theme modifications stay if I migrate?

Support is the reason to go with NextCloud. Unsure about theme.

Support and product development. ownCloud is the OpenOffice of the space. It seemed reasonable to stay with them, but as LibreOffice diverged more and more, OpenOffice fell into obscurity and using it was pointless. The earlier you switch, likely the easier it will be.

Not yet. I plan to do a migration this weekend though. I had to get all my ownCloud systems up to current first. That is done now.

cool. My owncloud server is pretty new so it might be worth migrating.
I did alot of CSS editing and image editing so I am hoping I can copy the images and theme over.

You're going bonkers adding good stuff to ML. Awesome.

Instead of doing an upgrade, I decided to do a migration. I spun up a nextcloud instance next to my owncloud instance and migrated everything over.
I was able to migrate all my images and CSS edits easily. I only had to make a few minor tweaks as some of the formatting and colors are slightly different.

I did not have time this weekend to do the upgrade, because windows updates went south at a client.
Well technically, updates were fine, but when I upgraded hyper-v integration services that went south.

No they were forked, the main dev team from Owncloud forked the code and make NextCloud. Owncloud is essentially OpenOffice where as LibreOffice is the successor.
