Distribution Release: Rocky Linux 10.0 |
|
The Rocky Linux project has published Rocky Linux 10.0, which mirrors the changes and updates from upstream's Enterprise Linux product line. Some of the key changes in version 10.0 include dropping X11 in favour of Wayland for the GNOME desktop session and introducing a RISC-V branch. "All 32-bit packages have been removed from Rocky Linux 10. This means that 32-bit applications will no longer run on this version of Rocky Linux. Please use 64-bit libraries or containers with 32-bit dependencies instead. Users will have administrative privileges by default, unless you deselect the option. The Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is now the default for graphical remote access, replacing VNC. The DHCP client in RL 10 is implemented as an internal subsystem of NetworkManager. The legacy dhcp-client package is no longer supported upstream and has been removed. The ISC DHCP server is end-of-life upstream and is replaced by its successor, Kea DHCP, in RL 10. In RL 10, Wayland replaces the X.Org Server. Xwayland will support most X11 clients that have not yet been ported to Wayland. Some desktop applications and components are also replaced in RL 10." Details can be found in the release announcement and in the release notes.

Distribution Release: Rocky Linux 9.3 |
|
Louis Abel has announced the release of Rocky Linux 9.3, the latest stable version from a project that develops a community clone of Red Hat Enterprise Linux: "We are pleased to announce the general availability of Rocky Linux 9.3. This release is currently available for the x86-64, aarch64, ppc64le and s390x architectures. The 9.3 release brings back cloud and container images for ppc64le that were not released with 9.2 due to issues with QEMU. These images may be divergent from the other architecture's images in some small ways, but we will work to reduce this delta in future releases of the images. The kernel-rt package has been merged into a subpackage of kernel. A new kernel-uki package was introduced as a technology preview, providing a Unified Kernel Image variant for booting. This UKI image is signed with its own SecureBoot key. A java-21-openjdk package was introduced providing a new version of Java. Current users of Rocky Linux 9 can upgrade to 9.3 from the terminal via dnf update, or from the desktop with GNOME Software, KDE Discover, etc." Read the release announcement and the release notes for further information and upgrade instructions.
