Foundry Nuke/Mari/Modo/Katana，。

intstall a few GNOME extensions like dash-to-panel / just perfection / dash to dock， install broadcom-wl from RPMFusion non free). The ‘Additional Drivers’ app of Ubuntu handles this much better. The older kernel without recent Nouveau drivers is a huge pain for VFX because we tend to have high-end recent Nvidia cards. The Rocky Workstation Live ISO will fail to boot to graphics on 4060/4070/4080 Nvidia cards. Hopefully you have an Intel or AMD iGPU to fallback on otherwise you get to type commands in a console to install your system. No GUI for you. Unlike Fedora， ZRam is disabled by default. It’s pretty easy to enable but I wish there was a ‘one click’ setting in the settings app somewhere. Same for configuring a swapfile. While Flatpak is installed by default， etc… Rocky is fine and the system should run similarly as any other distro using a similar kernel version and desktop environment. ， Autodesk Maya/Flame， SWAP etc…) Installing third party drivers is a pain. Need nvidia or broadcom wifi drivers? You’re on your own buddy! Time to Google-fu because the installer/settings app won’t give you a single clue! (Install Nvidia DKMS drivers from the Nvidia repo， SideFX Houdini (and a bunch of other pro software) list Rocky Linux as their (often only) supported Linux distro. (You can get most of these apps to run on other distros like Ubuntu… but then you’re on your own if you need support regarding install/os issues from your software vendor). djgil: I can’t imagine why Rocky would not be a viable choice as opposed to Ubuntu for instance? I’ve recently built a Rocky 9.4 box and it seems to be running fine so far for desktop/VFX use once everything is configured… but definitely the desktop experience out of the box is less polished than Ubuntu (or even Fedora). You really have to tweak Rocky to make it a good desktop daily driver. I’d say the main sticking points: The Anaconda installer is not intuitive AT ALL. It’s probably the worse UI I have seen in years. (“Done” in the top LEFT?!， gerry666uk: Can you clarify a bit more about this. Are you saying there are big commercial software titles out there that only support Rocky as the o/s? Most of the professional Visual Effects and Animation world is (was?) running on CentOS and most studios are migrating to Rocky Linux. The VFX Reference Platform strongly recommends Rocky Linux as the preferred distro for VFX studios. DaVinci Resolve， Press “Done” twice to confirm an error message?!). The latest Ubuntu 24.04 installer looks like science fiction comparatively. The default proposed partition layout is overkill for a desktop user and the GUI doesn’t make it easy to setup a simple 2 partition layout (i.e. EFI+EXT4 or EFI+XFS without LVM， it would be nice to have the Flathub remote installed by default (or a one-click option in the Software app). Installing the EPEL repository really should be a one-click option in the Software app. Installing common third-party repos (like RPMFusion Free/Non Free) should be a one-click option in the software app. The default wallpapers could be upgraded… The current ones don’t really scream professional digital content creation. (Small detail… of course it takes 2 seconds to change the wallpaper… it’s more about making a good ‘first impression’ to new users). These issues are just annoyances when you install your system though. Once you figure out all the quirks。
