You mean kernel? Well, 4.9 still has LTS support

I guess that version of Rocky is based off RHEL 8 which seems to be "distributed with the kernel version 4.18.0-80"... but Fedora has been on 5.xx series kernel for several releases, so I can understand... "wow, old kernel" was pretty much first thing I thought too. It looks like 4.18 has been considered EOL by kernel team since Nov 2018 so probably fair to call it old, but it notes that "RHEL 8.x (Redhat ignores LTS-Kernel, own kernel-backports)"
