Considering that it is being spearheaded by the originator of CentOS,
with the original goals of CentOS (before being swallowed by RH then
IBM) as a stable, enterprise OS, I'm putting my support behind Rocky
rockylinux.org and would urge others to do the same.
I've been around the Linux world for many years and looked at and tried
many distributions. Most of them are either unstable or bloated, or both.
The only thing I'd trust Oracle to do is screw the computing community
any way possible.
I agree. My current plan is to recommend we stay on CentOS 7 and switch to
Rocky Linux for version 8, maybe in a year or so.
Worst case scenario is Red Hat kills CentOS 7 (which would *not* surprise
me at all now) and we need to bridge the gap with Oracle.
My gut feeling is Oracle doesn't see Oracle Linux as a money maker, apart
from getting some support contracts from it, so they'll leave it be for a
while.
We shall see...

As far as I'm concerned, they're the good guys now.

I am not so sure that Oracle will do the same as RedHat ... as it has done
with other Communities that it has bought, I would honestly prefer
something 100% community and that it gives us the necessary business tools
to move to production 100% compatible systems, I think RockyLinux and what
CLoudLinux intends to do is good and gives a wide range of possibilities to
choose from.
Some one mentioned the already available Springdale Linux OS
made by Princeton University and IAS:
