Rocky Linux

Overview

Rocky Linux started on a solid foundation of CentOS in late 2020 when Red Hat end-of-life (EOL) the development of CentOS, a community-based Linux distro derived from Red Hat Enterprise.

The founder of Rocky Linux, Gregory Kurtzer, has made it clear that the goal of the community-driven project is to fulfill the original mission of CentOS.
