Rocky Linux 10 is gearing up to include support for RISC-V architecture, which follows Red Hat's recent announcement of RHEL 10 supporting RISC-V. This aligns with the growing trend of adopting diverse architectures beyond x86. User comments reflect a mix of historical experience with Red Hat and Rocky distributions, highlighting a divide in perceptions about their stability and usability, especially for users involved in legacy systems. The excitement around RISC-V indicates a shift in the industry as developers and users anticipate the implications of a more open architecture that RISC-V promises. Users express enthusiasm for a new generation of computing but also caution regarding the heritage of older versions of the software stack, pointing out that while Rocky Linux may be reliable, it may lag in modernization compared to emerging technologies.
