Rocky Linux is one of the youngest distributions around, first appearing in mid-2021. It is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linuxso in some ways, it’s a natural home for those who previously operated Centos, a community-backed Red Hat version that ended in December 2020.

The first version of Rocky is version 8.3, reflecting the fact that it is based on the same version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Despite the appearance of version 8.9 two days after 9.3, the version 8 lines are still the latest, which itself is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.3. This is the version we tested here. The end of life of Rocky 9 Line is May 2032. For Rocky 8, it is May 2029.
