Where I work, our target devices run RHEL but many of our dev workstations run Rocky Linux.
If the software I write behaves on my workstation but then malfunctions on my target device because a bug was only fixed in Rocky Linux, that would be very annoying.
I want stuff to run the exact same way on both so that I can develop workarounds if needed before even deploying to the targets.
- rurban 3y agoSo get RHEL for your devs then. The only guaranteed bug compatibility
- happymellon 3y agoIt might be very annoying but I still don't think they offer 1:1 bug compatibility, and I don't think they ever did. CentOS stated: https://www.spinics.net/lists/centos-devel/msg19564.html https://www.spinics.net/lists/centos-devel/msg19564.html > We came up with the phrase "bug-for-bug" compatible during EL5 as a GOAL to aim for. CentOS was NEVER bug-for-bug compatible. Rocky may have changed that line, but I would be surprised. CentOS was always "good enough".
- happymellon 3y agoI thought that RHEL was free for developer workstations with the free RHEL developer subscription. What does Rocky provide you in this situation?
- profwalkstr 3y agoFree for personal use, not workplace.
- happymellon 3y agoInteresting, so they don't make a free dev service for corps? How much does something like this cost a developer as part of an org? https://developers.redhat.com/articles/faqs-no-cost-red-hat-enterprise-linux https://developers.redhat.com/articles/faqs-no-cost-red-hat-...
- yrro 3y agoAccording to https://developers.redhat.com/articles/2022/05/10/access-rhel-developer-teams-subscription https://developers.redhat.com/articles/2022/05/10/access-rhe..., the Red Hat Developer Subscription for Teams is zero-cost.
