Rocky Linux 10 has caught up to the other high-profile RHELatives, but gaps between them are widening, both in tech and other ways. Rocky Linux 10 "Red Quartz" has reached general availability. The release notes describe what's new, such as support for RISC-V computers. Balancing that, this version only supports the Raspberry Pi 4 and 5 series; it drops Rocky 9.x's support for the older Pi 3 and Pi Zero models. "Red Quartz" follows AlmaLinux 10 "Purple Lion", which arrived at the end of May.

This is no big surprise, and it follows both parallel and upstream announcements. Upstream, because GNOME 49 will remove the X11 session, and parallel, because the corresponding release of Red Hat's free community distro, Fedora 43, will also be Wayland-only.
