Rocky Linux 10 has been released. The release features important modifications, notably the discontinuation of support for x86-64-v2 architectures and the requirement for AMD and Intel 64-bit architectures for x86-64-v3. The Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) has become the standard for graphical remote access, superseding VNC. The DHCP client in RL 10 is integrated as an internal subsystem of NetworkManager, while the ISC DHCP server has reached its end-of-life status upstream.

The desktop environment in RL 10 utilizes Wayland, substituting the X.Org Server with Xwayland, which will accommodate the majority of X11 clients that have not yet transitioned to Wayland. Several desktop applications and components have been updated in RL 10. Significant new features encompass dynamic programming languages, web and database servers, performance tools and debuggers, performance monitoring tools, compiler toolsets, and support for the RISC-V architecture.

Significant updates and guidance have been provided to the Rocky Linux Community on Azure concerning Rocky Linux images. The Cloud Special Interest Group (SIG) has partnered with the Azure Community Galleries team to enhance the availability and ease of use of Rocky Linux images on Azure. The Community Gallery provides a streamlined approach for distributing these images, circumventing any licensing challenges. The transition of marketplace images to a new publisher account has been executed, with a focus on architecture rather than versioning. The updated images are now categorized under a more straightforward publisher name and function as static snapshots.

The previous images associated with the publisher account erockyenterprisesoftwarefoundationinc1653071250513 for Rocky 8 and Rocky 9 are no longer supported. New virtual machines can be deployed using them until the deprecation date of October 20th, 2024. Clients with ongoing deployments of the deprecated images will be notified regarding the impending deprecation, and deployment limitations will be enforced following the end-of-life date.
