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.

Here I am regretting my decision to move from CentOS to rocky on my servers
I started with Ubuntu servers and moved on to Debian, never used anything else much because it always worked great but Redhat clones are supposed to be really nice too and I love Fedora on desktop! What's the problem with your Rocky server?
It's just the drama that IBM is causing in the redhat world. It makes me nervous.
Don't worry too much about that, it sucks but won't kill Rocky, Alma or Oracle because Redhat doesn't have the rights to do that, they can just make maintanace of those a lot harder! ;)
