I've never had to explain why we use GoDaddy as our domain registrar. I don't think Rocky Linux will be a problem.
The registrar who used Christian values as an excuse to deny registrants and then turned around and ran ads with salacious content.

#112The next CentOS will be where the core developers who are actually contributing to project will move. However, branding does matter if you want enterprise following. Rocky does sound unprofessional.

#113I am really interested to know why should anyone go with this when Debian or Ubuntu LTS exist. The two later have not changed their policies in the last decade, and they have a clear path for upgrading. CentOS was always a clear choice for device drivers support, but I never understood the stability claims.
If you're using Cpanel, you have no choice but to use Redhat, CentOS or Fedora.

I really think someone needs to convince them to change the name to something like "Rock Solid Linux". Is there anyway to try to make this happen?
As others have pointed out, the name is a tribute to a late CentOS cofounder Rocky McGaugh. It would be sad if it had to be changed. We should perhaps emphasize the CentOS lineage in the name instead.

#115Great, another Linux distro... I am trying to use something , but I just can't. Spending my time fixing problems instead of doing actual work is fun, for a while. Every damn time I start this one laptop with Linux, trying to get away from Windows 10, there's something to fix. Oh, the undervolt is not being applied, time to build the whole thing again. Oh, restart causes it to wank the hard drive indefinitely for some…

#116Debian = Deb + Ian.
Ian Murdoch broke up with Deb, and later he hanged himself.

#117The branding here I think is a big issue. The name "Rocky Linux" sounds too homebrew and unprofessional. CentOS sounds Enterprise-ish. I find it hard to believe any corporate client would take it seriously.
