Hi, I’m using Rocky Linux as my daily driver on various servers and desktop clients. As far as I understand, RHEL 10.x will only support x86_64_v3 processors.

The official answer is that as far as the Rocky Linux team is concerned, we will follow RHEL on this, meaning that v3 is required for 10. As @tjdoyle intimates, there may be others that attempt to roll something that does not require v3 as third-parties.

It shouldn’t really cause any issues unless you are running anything older than Haswell or a pre-2015 AMD CPU. If you are, there isn’t really anything forcing you to use Rocky 10. But yes, it will require v3.

rocky 10 rc-1 if anyone interested to give it a try and have a nice day everyone :slight_smile:
