Rocky 8 Raspberry Pi Images Rocky 8 Raspberry Pi Images
These are preliminary, but they do work, and are full-featured (as far as I know!) They have been tested on Raspberry Pi 3 and 4.
They have been tested on Raspberry Pi 4. If you are interested in testing on your Raspberry Pi 3, please tell us about it in our chat channel: https://chat.rockylinux.org/rocky-linux/channels/altarch
Rocky Linux WILL NOT WORK on a Raspberry Pi 1 or 2. They are 32-bit only, and Rocky Linux only supports arm64 (aarch64). Rocky Linux WILL NOT WORK on a Raspberry Pi 1 or 2. They are 32-bit only, and Rocky Linux only supports arm64 (aarch64).
(edit: Raspberry Pi 2 version 1.2 boards are in fact 64-bit. There aren't too many of these, but they might work. Tell us if you have one!)

On Linux systems, simply do something like this: xzcat Rocky_Image_file.raw.xz > /dev/sdX GUI WAY (Linux/Win/Mac)
(where X is the letter of your usb or memory card device, you can use fdisk -l to find which one) Grab a program like Balena Etcher ( https://www.balena.io/etcher/ ) GUI-based disk writer.
Insert your SD card and follow the instructions. It will extract and write your disk image.
