After many years of CentOS, I became a Debianer, but now wanted to install my first live NS8 on Rocky Linux 10, and finally move the old NS7 instance.
Unfortunately I haven’t got too far:

System not supported
Well, indeed, System requirements says Rocky Linux 9:
But I thought the newer version should not be a problem, as NS8 is distro-independent… or is it?
As I see Rocky Linux 9 EOL is 2032 so it should be fine too I guess.
So should I go that way?
Or any plans to add support for RL 10? Any backward incompatible changes?
Actually my first idea was to install it on Debian 13, but I gues that would have been also failed, as requirements says Debian 12.
But overall I would be fine with Rocky Linux if that is the main supported OS, so I chose that one, but seemingly the wrong version…
It’s more accurate, I think, to say that it’s distro-less-dependent. NS7 ran only on CentOS7; NS8 runs on Rocky/Alma/CentOS 9 and Debian 12. More flexible, but definitely not “independent.” But if you want a subscription or any kind of “official” support, you’d need to be on Rocky 9–which, as you say, is still supported for seven more years.
