What do you like best about the product?

Stability at High scale, will be better for recommending at production level more

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

One of the challenges I faced while using Rocky Linux was package and dependency compatibility during the migration from other Enterprise Linux distributions. Some third-party repositories and software packages required additional configuration or manual dependency resolution before they could be installed successfull

What do you like best about the product?

What I like most about Rocky Linux is how stable and predictable it feels, especially coming from Red Hat Enterprise Linux. We switched over without too much trouble and honestly for most workloads it behaves almost the same, which made things a lot easier.

Performance has been solid so far, I’m running it on a couple of servers and also using it personally and it just stays out of the way. Updates are consistent and I haven’t run into anything major breaking after upgrades, which is always a concern with server environments.

Another thing I like is the cost side, not having to deal with licensing like RHEL but still getting a similar experience is a big plus. It also integrates well with the usual tools we already use, so there wasn’t much need to change our setup. Overall it just feels reliable, which is really what I want from an OS like this.

What do you dislike about the product?

One thing that can be a bit frustrating with Rocky Linux is that sometimes you have to spend extra time figuring things out compared to something like RHEL, especially when it comes to documentation or smaller edge cases. It’s not a huge issue, but it does slow things down a bit when you are troubleshooting.

We are also using LXD for containers, and right now Rocky 10 images are not available there, only Rocky 9. Because of that, all our project containers are still running on Rocky 9, which isn’t ideal since we have already started using Rocky 10 in other places.

Other than that, there are occasional minor issues here and there, like certain packages or repos not being immediately available or needing a bit of manual setup. Nothing major, just small things that add up sometimes.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

For us it mainly solved the need for a stable and free alternative to Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Licensing was getting a bit restrictive, so moving to Rocky Linux gave us almost the same environment without the cost, which is a big win from a ROI point of view.

Since it’s RHEL compatible, we didn’t have to change much in terms of setup or tools. Most of our existing configs and workflows just worked, so the transition was smoother than expected. That saved a lot of time compared to switching to something completely different.

It also helps with consistency across environments. We’re using it both for servers and some personal setups, so it’s easier to manage and maintain everything in a similar way. Overall it just gives us a reliable base to run things without worrying too much about stability or unexpected issues.

What do you like best about the product?

Rocky Linux provides a stable, secure, and production-ready enterprise operating system at no cost, whether you run it in the cloud or on-prem. Most hyperscalers support the operating system natively, which helps mitigate open-source support risk for critical business applications.

What do you dislike about the product?

Rocky linux being a open source and downstream for red hat,there is delay for every security patch or updates.
