I was thinking, in the WELCOME SCREEN, there should be a set up checklist, and a search box for questions not answered in the “manual.” It should be linked to : [https://wiki.rockylinux.org/](https://wiki.rockylinux.org/) I would love to see how I could write up a “manual” of some type. I still have CentOS questions that I haven’t gotten answers to yet. Like upgrading to the latest kernel. There is another CentOS fork announced, so ROCKY needs to be different! ROCKY, I feel, should have some Fedora 33 like features added, like an ANIMATED background in GNOME, and a KDE spin. If you can link me to info I will need to create answers provided for questions that will need to addressed, I appreciate it a lot. Can I join the ROCKY Account? Fedora has a process of signing up to the project, to be a part of it… I also need to know what I can do with Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, and Instagram…What can be done with them. Any suggestions are appreciated. I work with some web site code, so if there is anything basic I can work on in regards to a “Manual” and creating a web page in regards of the Manual and/or Social Media… Please let me know! I am EXCITED to add something to ROCKY, which I HOPE will be in the top 5 on distrowatch! I will create something, wallpaper wise, in the next few weeks. Fedora has wallpaper, so MUST ROCKY! I just need the ROCKY LOGO to work with! I want ROCKY to be a good companion to Fedora (33 and beyond!!!) Let’s make 2021 the YEAR of Rocky Linux! Happy Holidays! **Regards,** **Markus McLaughlin** **Hudson, MA** ---

Err, isn’t RHEL + Fedora-like features called CentOS Stream? AIUI Rocky aims to be like CentOS was, a rock solid rebuild of RHEL. If you want to add Fedora features they come from EPEL. ---

Manuals are important part of the distribution - this might be great point for Rocky Linux … as long as we will be able to build such reputation as Archwiki. This is nice long term goal. But first we need a distribution. Then there will be place for manuals, maybe community training and so on. But first things first. ---

We need to have users be able to implement Fedora-like features through the EPEL then… It shouldn’t be a difficult process… Markus McLaughlin ---

These “fedora-like” features will also likely be treated as part of the inevitable SIGs that will be established. We do not have to do anything through EPEL as it is a separate, also community-supported project, that comes under the Fedora banner and is unaffected by the recent announcement (as I understand, feel free to correct me). For now I think the best solution is to stay laser-focused on the primary goal: build a community-supported, RHEL-compatible, Enterprise OS on x86\_64. Everything else will come in various stages afterwards. Some earlier, like Power and Arm64 support, some later. ---

The ability to use EPEL comes from RHEL itself, not from CentOS specifically… This will already be in the distro when it launches. Also, a manual is something we’re already slowly piecing together over on [wiki.rockylinux.org](http://wiki.rockylinux.org). ---
