What I like most about Rocky Linux is how stable and predictable it feels, especially coming from Red Hat Enterprise Linux. We switched over without too much trouble and honestly for most workloads it behaves almost the same, which made things a lot easier.
Performance has been solid so far, I’m running it on a couple of servers and also using it personally and it just stays out of the way. Updates are consistent and I haven’t run into anything major breaking after upgrades, which is always a concern with server environments.
Another thing I like is the cost side, not having to deal with licensing like RHEL but still getting a similar experience is a big plus. It also integrates well with the usual tools we already use, so there wasn’t much need to change our setup. Overall it just feels reliable, which is really what I want from an OS like this.

One thing that can be a bit frustrating with Rocky Linux is that sometimes you have to spend extra time figuring things out compared to something like RHEL, especially when it comes to documentation or smaller edge cases. It’s not a huge issue, but it does slow things down a bit when you are troubleshooting.
We are also using LXD for containers, and right now Rocky 10 images are not available there, only Rocky 9. Because of that, all our project containers are still running on Rocky 9, which isn’t ideal since we have already started using Rocky 10 in other places.
Other than that, there are occasional minor issues here and there, like certain packages or repos not being immediately available or needing a bit of manual setup. Nothing major, just small things that add up sometimes. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.
