Rocky Linux 10, based on RHEL 10, released
Following the release of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 and the AlmaLinux 10, yet another Red Hat-based Linux derivative distro, Rocky Linux, has just released a new version that is compatible with the tenth major version of RHEL. This sets a huge milestone for just another community version of the RHEL distribution. You can download this version of Rocky Linux here.
Download nowRocky Linux 10, just like RHEL 10, requires the x86_64-v3 processor in order to run on modern computers. This is unlike AlmaLinux 10 that needed at least the x86_64-v2 processor. Also, Rocky Linux 10 no longer ships the 32-bit packages, which means that you will no longer to run 32-bit applications.
For the desktop environment, this version of Rocky Linux now uses the Wayland server exclusively instead of the legacy X11 protocol. However, some of the applications that have not yet been ported to Wayland can now run using the Xwayland protocol.
This version of Rocky Linux now supports the RISC-V architecture for users with such processor architecture. This is to make sure that computers that use a RISC-V processor be able to use Rocky Linux for the first time, expanding hardware support to the broader audience.
The following architectures are supported:
The following common packages have been updated:

The best pride logo has to be from #RockyLinux they just crop and rotate the pride flag into a circle cause the flag accidentally has the rocky Linux logo anyway. I love it. <3
All open source projects can use more contributions, so here are some places where you can start for @rockylinux !
This page has a list of active Special Interest Groups, like the Cloud or Security SIGs. There's also a list of areas where you can lead the change in making a SIG for it, like for embedded systems or storage applications!

Thank you to @rockylinux for being a silver sponsor for Flock!
Rocky Linux's work on RISC-V enablement is one of the many ways they have been active members of the community! See how they worked in Fedora to improve RISC-V support and then brought that to Rocky Linux 10.

Just added Rocky Linux 10 (STG) to the Vagrant box collection for ARM64 systems. Have fun on your Mac, Devs! Happy coding!

I think it would be helpful if in your text on your codeberg account, you introduce the problem better that you identified and how you think it should be solved.
I understand that you prefer if a legal entity is registered in the EU. I tell you that Microsoft has Microsoft Ltd. in Dublin. This alone is not enough to keep the exist costs low.
A number of bright people from across the world have thought previously about these questions. The outcome is #almalinux and #RockyLinux.
It’s official: RISC-V will be joining the Rocky Linux 10 architecture lineup!
This milestone wouldn’t be possible without the incredible work of the Fedora RISC-V community. We’ve built on their upstream-first foundation to bring riscv64gc into the Rocky family—alongside x86_64, aarch64, ppc64le, and s390x.
Big thanks to @fedora, @RISC-V International, and everyone helping push open hardware forward.
