Just a week after the release of RHEL 8.5, Rocky Linux 8.5 is available to the general public.
Rocky Linux, one of the most anticipated CentOS replacements, has announced the general availability for Rocky Linux 8.5 “Green Obsidian”.
The Rocky Enterprise Software Foundation (RESF) has announced general availability (GA) of Rocky Linux 8.5. It’s an important milestone because it’s the first Rocky Linux release that officially supported Secure Boot.
For those of you unfamiliar with Secure Boot, it’s a feature found in the startup software for your computer that’s designed to ensure your computer starts safely and securely by preventing unauthorized software like malware from taking control of your PC at boot-up.
In other words, Secure Boot allows only software or firmware signed with approved keys to execute during the boot process.
Rocky Linux 8.5 Features
Under the hood a repository URL is no longer required when using Boot-only media and performing Network-based installations of Rocky Linux 8.5. During network installation, the list of mirrors hosting BaseOS content from the MirrorList will be used by the FastestMirror DNF plugin, sorted heuristically by the time it takes to open a connection to the mirrors on their given protocol’s port.
In fact, Rocky Linux 8.5 ships with the same features you’d find in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.5, such as:
New Modules
Ruby 3.0
nginx 1.20
Node.js 16
Updated Components
PHP to version 7.4.19
Squid to version 4.15
Mutt to version 2.0.7
Compilers and Development tools
GCC Toolset 11
LLVM Toolset 12.0.1
Rust Toolset 1.54.0
Go Toolset 1.16.7
Open Java Development Kit 17 (OpenJDK 17)
:: More ::
You can also now use Rocky Linux 8.5 as a container image via Docker Hub or hosted on a third-party cloud service, such as Amazon Web Services or Azure.
If you are already using Rocky Linux 8.4 and want to upgrade to the latest stable 8.5 version, just type in terminal:
sudo dnf -y upgrade
the developers ask users to run a few commands after installing Rocky Linux 8.5.
sudo dnf install -y keyutils
sudo keyctl show %:.platform
sudo mokutil --sb
“There was an amazing amount of work and collaboration that went into this release. The Rocky Release Engineering team went far and above the call of duty to make 8.5 a reality so quickly,” said developer Gregory Kurtzer.

The Rocky Linux team have launched version 8.5 of their operating system. One of the major changes in this release is the debut support for Secure Boot.
"In less then 48 hours from RHEL-8.5 being released, we had successful tests on our ISOs and just before we were about to pull the string to go GA with 8.5, Microsoft countersigned our Secure Boot shim. We quickly deliberated and decided to backtrack and incorporate that into the 8.5 release. There were some things that we had to get in order and resolved, but it is with great pleasure that this release includes the official Rocky Linux signed shim. Here is the full thread to the shim review. As with any security related diligence, it is important to be able to validate the Secure Boot shim is exactly what you expect and that it is properly activated.
