Rocky Linux is a community-driven, enterprise-grade operating system designed as a 1:1 bug-for-bug compatible replacement for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). It was created by the original founder of CentOS after Red Hat shifted CentOS to CentOS Stream.
Yes! Rocky Linux is production-ready and used by thousands of organizations worldwide. It provides the same stability and long-term support as RHEL and CentOS, with 10 years of support per major version.
Rocky Linux continues the original CentOS model: a downstream, stable rebuild of RHEL. CentOS Stream became upstream (less stable). Rocky Linux offers predictable, production-ready releases with long-term support.
Yes! Rocky Linux provides official migration scripts for CentOS 7 and CentOS 8. The process is straightforward and preserves your existing configurations and applications. Always backup before migrating.
Rocky Linux 8 is supported until May 31, 2029. Rocky Linux 9 is supported until May 31, 2032. This matches RHEL support timelines, giving you 10 years of security updates and bug fixes.
No! Rocky Linux is completely free and open-source. Unlike RHEL which requires subscriptions, Rocky Linux provides enterprise-grade features at no cost. Commercial support is available from third-party vendors if needed.
Rocky Linux uses DNF (and YUM for backward compatibility). Install packages with "dnf install package-name". It has access to the same repositories and packages as RHEL.
Both are excellent RHEL clones. Rocky Linux is led by the CentOS founder. AlmaLinux is backed by CloudLinux. Both are production-ready with identical functionality. Choose based on community preference or commercial support availability.
