In theory (heh, heh), they should all work exactly the same as far as Rivendell
is concerned. That said, I have seen some apparent oddities with kernel module
compatibility with at least one (RockyLinux). For that reason, as of the latest
beta build (Beta3), I have gone to generating all RPMs and other binaries on
real, honest-to-god RHEL 8, which is also now my primary testing environment
for same.
WRT the “clones”, it’s worth bearing in mind that it’s still pretty early days
for them; I imagine that all of them are still in the process of shaking down
various compatibility issues. Compatibility will presumably improve.
Cheers!
