    openEuler FAQ

    Answers to the most common questions, with facts taken from the official download page and homepage.

    What openEuler is and who governs it

    Section titled “What openEuler is and who governs it”

    The official homepage describes openEuler as an open-source OS incubated by the OpenAtom Foundation for digital infrastructure in server, cloud, edge and embedded scenarios. ISOs, repositories and sources are published free; commercial support comes from distributions built on openEuler or from service providers.

    Relation to RHEL and CentOS

    Section titled “Relation to RHEL and CentOS”

    There is no compatibility promise: openEuler carries its own kernel branch and a full package build system, keeping the RPM/DNF operating habits. Teams looking for a binary-compatible RHEL replacement should evaluate AlmaLinux or Rocky instead. A cross-distro comparison lives on the hub’s openEuler topic page.

    LTS or innovation

    Section titled “LTS or innovation”

    The official download page splits community releases into an LTS line and an innovation line — production follows an LTS through its SP updates, early adopters ride the innovation line. Current entries and planned end dates: Versions and lifecycle.
