From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm a video editor, I had a tough time getting Davinci Resolve to run. That's my only complaint.
They really need to start shipping Flatpaks or something so that they aren't always just targeting RHEL and CentOS. Luckily for me, someone's done the hard work of repackaging it into the AUR, but it really is kind of a crap experience on other distros.
Yea I've talked to their support about this. It's not happening any time soon. For some reason all VFX packages target Cent and are not moving to Rocky, big bummer.
Isn't Rocky binary compatible anyways (well at least before the Redhat announcement)?
It is, but they're using an unsupported version of Rocky that is CentOS 7 equivalent with an ancient kernel version.
Distrobox might be your best bet for it
This is cool.
