Oracle infrastructures announced the general availability of OracleLinux 10, the latest version of its enterprise distribution based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 10, launched just a few weeks ago. Having reached this release stage, this version is now available for download and use on both 64-bit Intel/AMD servers (x86_64) and 64-bit ARM-based systems (AArch64), thus expanding its compatibility to corporate environments with a variety of hardware technologies.
Among the main attractions of this release is the introduction of the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel (UEK) 8.1 as an alternative to the Red Hat-compatible kernel. This kernel version is based on Linux 6.12 LTS, but incorporates additional security enhancements and internal configuration updates. Of particular note are the new drivers ported from Linux 6.15, primarily geared toward supporting Broadcom storage and other enterprise devices, as well as specific configuration tweaks to meet the needs of the professional sector.
Oracle Linux 10.0 is 100% compatible with RHEL 10
As usual, Oracle has bet heavily on the full binary compatibility, guaranteeing a 100% compatibility with applications developed for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10. This allows enterprises to seamlessly migrate or deploy their workloads without worrying about application-level incompatibilities or system dependencies. Additionally, Oracle Linux 10 retains support for Ksplice, the hot patching tool that allows you to update your kernel in real time, minimizing interruptions and strengthening security without the need for reboots.
This release remains part of the Open Enterprise Linux Association (OpenELA), ensuring transparency and collaboration with other key players in the open source ecosystem. The release of this version follows the release of other enterprise distributions such as AlmaLinux 10.0 and Rocky Linux 10.0, all of which are the result of the recent release of RHEL 10.
This release reinforces Oracle's commitment to offering businesses a robust and secure platform, adapted to the latest technological developments, yet also flexible and compatible with the most diverse environments.
