I feel totally safe and confident with the fully community-driven effort of Rocky Linux, lead by the former founder of the original CentOS project. (I am not affiliated with them in any way.) As has already been mentioned, Rocky Linux has managed to gain quickly support from major players in the industry (including Google and Microsoft), and is committed to never drop its independent/community status. It is well structured and organized, and embraces a good number of open-source volunteer specialists. We want to keep up with RHEL ecosystem and Rocky Linux is - for us - the best option. If some people want to leave the RHEL ecosystem for Debian or FreeBSD, that's OK. But for those who want to stay in the RHEL world, Rocky Linux stands as a rock-solid solution. This opinion does not reject other CentOS clones, but emphasizes the fact that Rocky Linux appears to be a solid option for now and the years to come. Cheers, Nick
