From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm sorry for the stupid question, but I looked at both the websites of Rocky and Alma, and still cant quite figure out what does "Enterprise grade" distro mean.
They talk about stability, but Debian is stable too, yet it's not "enterprise".
Can anyone ELI5?
You can pay someone to complain to when something breaks and get them to fix it.
Mostly professional support.
