Rocky Linux 10, based on RHEL 10, released

Following the release of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 and the AlmaLinux 10, yet another Red Hat-based Linux derivative distro, Rocky Linux, has just released a new version that is compatible with the tenth major version of RHEL. This sets a huge milestone for just another community version of the RHEL distribution. You can download this version of Rocky Linux here.

Rocky Linux 10, just like RHEL 10, requires the x86_64-v3 processor in order to run on modern computers. This is unlike AlmaLinux 10 that needed at least the x86_64-v2 processor. Also, Rocky Linux 10 no longer ships the 32-bit packages, which means that you will no longer to run 32-bit applications.

For the desktop environment, this version of Rocky Linux now uses the Wayland server exclusively instead of the legacy X11 protocol. However, some of the applications that have not yet been ported to Wayland can now run using the Xwayland protocol.

This version of Rocky Linux now supports the RISC-V architecture for users with such processor architecture. This is to make sure that computers that use a RISC-V processor be able to use Rocky Linux for the first time, expanding hardware support to the broader audience.

The following architectures are supported:

• 64-bit AMD/Intel x86-64-v3 (x86_64)
• 64-bit RISC-V (riscv64)
• 64-bit ARMv8.0-A (aarch64)
• IBM POWER, little endian (ppc64le)
• IBM z (s390x)

The following common packages have been updated:

• Dynamic programming languages, web, and database servers
  • PHP 8.3
  • Python 3.12
  • nginx 1.26
  • PostgreSQL 16.8
  • MySQL 8.4
