Rocky Linux: OS compatible with RHEL by the founder of CentOS

This is great news following the ‘demise’ of CentOS!

What is the Rocky Linux Project?

Rocky Linux is a community enterprise operating system designed to be 100% bug-for-bug compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux now that CentOS has shifted direction. It is under intensive development by the community. Rocky Linux is led by Gregory Kurtzer, founder of the CentOS project. There is no ETA for a release. Contributors are asked to reach out using the communication options offered on this site.

Github: GitHub - rocky-linux/rocky: Rocky Linux is a community enterprise Operating System designed to be 100% bug-for-bug compatible with Enterprise Linux created in response to the effective discontinuation of CentOS.

Do you use a Linux terminal music player?
If so, which one? Recently I had to install Moc player on an old PC because I was searching for something with low resource consumption.
