Step by Step Installation of Rocky Linux 9 with video

What is Rocky Linux?

The aim of Rocky Linux, a free Linux distribution that was forked off of CentOS, was to eventually take the place of CentOS after Red Hat decided to stop supporting it. It is an excellent operating system for many use cases because it is compatible with the RHEL operating system source code. It is completely compatible with Enterprise Linux, which makes it somewhat of a drag-and-drop solution. Furthermore, it is a fantastic option for your servers and desktop apps in addition to being extremely stable and user-friendly. Rocky Linux was and continues to be the best option because many administrators use CentOS and have been searching for a workaround ever since RedHat dropped support.
