From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Tbh I do not know the ins and outs of rhel based distros, so these have caught my interest. I've tries live usb of both and I really did like the feel of alma. Rocky I thought felt like every other GNOME system.... But I clearly dont really know much about these sort of distros and their capabilities. Are these considered enterprise grade? I have no clue. Would love to hear your thoughts on alma and Rocky and what makes them different that other distros. Thanks

I don't like how CIQ taking away 30% of Red Hat Customer, that lead to Red Hat doing shit... Rocky shouldn't done that in first place... and their brand, trademark are transferable to CIQ from RSEF... so I don't know, I don't have respect to Greg... after Rocky Fiasco... Red Hat did communicate about CentOS Stream long way before, and they already give signal in 2014/2015, but they burry it... and Greg profit a lot of it from RHEL Engineering, without even contribute much after the money gotten to his pocket... so.... Welp call me greg hater, but I hate him so much.. with his decision and his press release that make Red Hat always bad...
