Comments and Reviews
If you want RHEL but free, or Fedora but totally stable, use RockyLinux.
The packages are older as expected, but there are no bugs to expect.
Lots of different versions, including a KDE edition.
X11 recommended, Wayland still buggy.
All versions of Rocky Linux are quite slow in updating even the most important packages. Not good for my usage. Might be good for you...

Rocky is great if you want to run something that requires stability. It is RHEL forked distro that can fit all your server needs.
