Rocky Linux

Has any one slammed through Rocky Linux yet? Many of the CentOS team went over to Rocky Linux after CentOS went to their new Stream model. I'm a long fan of CentOS... and have used many other Linux variants. I have not checked it out yet... but looking into it.

Check Rocky Linux out:

What are your thoughts? Going to give it a try? Post it up!

I would but, being that I have been using Apple stuff for that last bunch of years, what I have is some old 32bit computers. I just this week found a LINUX Mint 19.2 that was their last 32bit and put it on my old Lenovo laptop. I have ordered a battery that should be here by Monday. Thought I would fire it up and use it for a while.

I haven't. I've actually stuck with Zorin OS this whole time as my daily driver. Kind of lost the itch to distro hop, lol.

Might pull out my old Dell slim PC and use that to do it.

What benefits are there to using an Enterprise distro? It's never crossed my mind to be honest.

I'm hoping to give this a shot soon... did either of you give a test yet?

I don't have anything 64bit right now.

I have not. I put this project on the back burner for now. Going to start a home server soon. So @BLUEVOODU might hit you up for some assistance when it comes time.

@CreepinDeth --> sure thing!

I'm getting ready to play test Rocky Linux on the "Enterprise" front. It's looking to be a pretty good CentOS replacement... so far. I've been hearing good things from those using it.
