There's also Alma, which is where I've gone after being with CentOS since 5.3
AlmaLinux is a great project too, IMHO, but things show that the new industry standard (replacing CentOS) will probably be Rocky Linux.
(Yes, RHEL **AND** CentOS have indeed been industry standards - the point of reference -, IMHO, and this is what IBM/RHEL have failed to realize: You don't alter a point of reference.)
It is interesting to see what Service Providers will do with their (huge numbers of) CentOS installations, when they migrate...
From the users/admins' perspective it is to their interest to have robust and healthy alternatives.
In our org, I am now using Rocky Linux on new installations (without issues) and will be migrating several CentOS 8 boxes to Rocky Linux as well.
