The discontinuation of CentOS Linux affected many people in the community who relied on it for its stability and mirror level of bug-to-bug and bit-for-bit compliance and compatibility with the upstream Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). However, this acted as a catalyst for the creation of Rocky Linux, which aims to bridge the gap for CentOS users.

In this episode of TFiR Let’s Talk, Swapnil Bhartiya sits down with Gregory M. Kurtzer, CEO, Ctrl IQ, Inc. and Executive Director, Rocky Enterprise Software Foundation (RESF) / Rocky Linux, to discuss Rocky Linux 9 and how it continues to help CentOS users. He goes into detail about the organizational structure of Rocky Linux and the commercial aspect of open source projects. Kurtzer explains how they have built Rocky Linux to ensure reproducibility and how this embodies their core open-source values.
