Rocky Linux is a free, open-source Linux distribution that was created as a direct replacement for CentOS, following Red Hat’s decision to shift CentOS to a rolling-release model with CentOS Stream. Named after Rocky McGaugh, one of the early contributors to CentOS, Rocky Linux is designed to be fully compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), offering a stable and reliable platform for enterprise and server environments. It was founded by Gregory Kurtzer, one of the original CentOS creators, and is maintained by the Rocky Enterprise Software Foundation. The project is community-driven and aims to provide a long-term, secure operating system with predictable release cycles, making it a popular choice for organizations seeking a free RHEL alternative.
