About Rocky 8 RC Unofficial

This is an Unofficial build from the original Rocky Linux* 8.9 BaseOS packages. No changes have been made, except those required for WSL. Rocky Linux is a bug-for-bug downstream build of RHEL*, and meant to replace CentOS* after they changed direction.

Please note that this, and similar apps, cannot run on Windows 10 S

Proceeds from this app will go to recovering publishing costs, and extra funds will be donated to the Rocky Enterprise Software Foundation.

Although this package will run in WSL1, it is recommended to run it in WSL2. There are known memory issues in WSL1 that can cause corruption of the package database, damaging the distro. WSL2, with its Linux kernel, solved those problems.

*Rocky Linux, CentOS, and RHEL are trademarks of their respective owners.
