Rocky Linux aims to be a complete downstream binary compatible version using the source code of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) operating system. Since CentOS announced the end of development, Rocky Linux came into being and aims to be a replacement for CentOS. Currently, Banwagonhost does not have the option of Rocky Linux when reinstalling the system. There is still only CentOS. However, now we see that Rocky Linux can be selected in the Mount ISO, which means that it is very convenient to mount the Rocky Linux image and then install it. This article introduces the tutorial for mounting Rocky Linux and installing Rocky Linux.

On December 8, 2020, Red Hat announced that they would stop developing CentOS. Before that, CentOS had been used as a production branch and downstream version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. After that, they would switch to developing the operating system. A newer upstream development variant, "CentOS Stream".

To this end, CentOS founder Gregory Kurtzer announced that he will restart a project to achieve the original goals of CentOS. The name comes from CentOS's early co-founder Rocky McGaugh.

Within two days of release, Rocky Linux had received more than 2,600 likes on GitHub, and as of December 12, the project had become the most popular repository on GitHub, according to the GitHub Trends feature.

Rocky Linux plans to release a replacement for CentOS before the end of life of CentOS 8. It will also run on x86-64 and ARM-based processors, and CentOS users will be able to convert their operating system to Rocky Linux by just running a single command.
