Rocky Linux 10 installs as a minimal text-only server by default, and if you need a graphical desktop, you have to add GNOME yourself, and this guide shows you exactly how to do that, with or without internet access.
If you chose the Minimal Install option during the Rocky Linux 10 installation, your system includes only the essential packages needed to run without any desktop environment, which means no graphical login screen and no GUI applications.

This setup is ideal for servers because it’s lightweight and uses fewer system resources. However, if you’re using your system as a workstation, a virtual machine, or simply prefer working with a graphical interface, you’ll probably want to install GNOME.
