Mostly in who controls it. Rocky Linux has no corporate backing, while Alma is controlled by the CloudLinux people.

Rocky also has one of the original CentOS founders on board, it seems in spirit a lot more like CentOS before it got acquired by RedHat/IBM.

This is a fallacy. AlmaLinux is a 501c6 non profit. Not controlled by CloudLinux at all and CloudLinux are diluting whatever stake they have so that the community can have true ownership. AlmaLinux is trying to prevent what happened with CentOS before being taken over.
