Rocky Linux was developed, in large part, due to Red Hat's decision to discontinue CentOS Linux. The first release, called Rocky Linux 8.4, was on June 21, 2021. The project was named after Rocky McGaugh, who was a co-founder of CentOS.

The out-of-the-box experience of Rocky Linux provides essential productivity software, including LibreOffice, web browsers, and multimedia tools. The user desktop experience is user-friendly and supports popular Linux desktop environments, like GNOME and KDE Plasma.

Rocky Linux is available here. The online documentation and community support are ideal starting points for novice users.

Here is a brilliant video from ExplainingComputer.com host, Christopher Barnatt, that discusses using Rocky Linux with DaVinci Resolve.

Through my series on Linux operating systems, start out by using Oracle VirtualBox or VMware Workstation Pro. Compare various Linux operating systems to find out which one is best suited for your needs.

Let me know in the comment which Linux operating system you prefer and why.
