Rocky linux is a good replacement for CentOS systems if you want to stay with a RHEL based
OS and have a very stable system. It's based on RHEL, but doesn't have the issue that
CentOS stream does - where CentOS Stream follows the latest development code for RHEL, so
it's not as stable as CentOS 7.

If you want to upgrade it could be tricky getting from CentOS 7 -> Rocky 9.
