Comment on Rocky Linux releases its first release candidateparent

Comments

The Scientific Linux team decided to not make a Scientific Linux 8, and instead switch over to CentOS 8[0]. Note this was announced prior to the announcement about CentOS 8 going away.

CERN et al are still deciding what to do[1].

Would Rocky Linux be an option for CERN?

I'm assuming the Centos 8 install instructions for e.g. GitLab also work with Rocky Linux? Conda/Micromamba definitely should.
