This is a dumb and inaccurate headline.

AlmaLinux is driven by a non-profit foundation and while the core is basically RHEL, we're adding on top to meet the needs of the community. https://github.com/AlmaLinux/ALESCo/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aclo...

We already support it - the build is live. https://repo.almalinux.org/almalinux/10/isos/x86_64_v2/ We even do a full EPEL rebuild for it as well.

This is not reporting, this is a sales pitch while misrepresenting the "competition".

Thanks for your insightful reply. I think we can all agree that compliance is quite a complex and generally annoying endeavor to take on.

You can't ban me here for speaking truth like you can on reddit, can you :) Edit: also, it's literally the true version of the story. Do your own research. It's all public and logged.

Greg kurtzer is not the founder of CentOS. This is FUD he's been regurgitating ever since tricking one of the past CentOS community managers into doing a blog post. If you read the mailing list archives you'll see the truth.

STIGs are not inherited. It absolutely does not work that way. I think you're reading into the changes completely wrong. AlmaLinux has power to actually do things, fix issues, contribute real and meaningful changes, all while maintai

AlmaLinux is a non-profit foundation. It is not run by any company. Lots of companies sponsor it in various ways but no company controls it.

AlmaLinux is still 100% compatible with RHEL. Any suggestions otherwise is FUD.

Sustainability is one of the core reasons why we are not using RHEL SRPMs to build AlmaLinux. RH doesn't want us doing that, and doing so would be unsustainable and bring into question the future of AlmaLinux as it can, and likely wil

We don't change the expected versions. We might patch/backport more to them if there are issues, but the versions remain. Basically the goal is still to fit the exact situation you just brought up. I'm not aware of this eve

Bug for bug is a sham and always was. It's a disservice to users to only clone something. Underneath it all, compatibility is what matters. At AlmaLinux we still target RHEL minor versions and will continue to do so. We're a cl

AlmaLinux has made no such statement, for what it's worth.

Fermi did swap to AlmaLinux.

by jonathanspw 2y ago
It's worth noting that the drivers are still in the mainline Linux kernel and many other distros. If they have a problem it's not just Alma vs the world to figure out the issues - it will be Alma plus the world working on the sol

Yesterday sure was fun wasn't it :p Thanks for all your help/working with me on getting this cleaned up in Fedora.

Technically code-wise we're a downstream of CentOS Stream for the most part, but the end result is more of a hybrid because we're targeting RHEL and can match commits to RHEL commits from stream for a lot of it...so yeah. Formerly

Fedora has definitely been winning big lately. Solid OS!

Because, why not? :)

Correct we will continue with minor releases every ~6 months.

There is no business model. We're a non-profit.

AlmaLinux has not diverged.

Did you miss the part about careful curation to ensure it's still 1:1 RHEL and not with any extra Oracle stuff, etc.? Oracle has no influence over AlmaLinux.

Wherever you're getting this information from is woefully misinformed to the point of just being plain wrong. CloudLinux is a large financial sponsor of AlmaLinux still, and probably always will be. The rest of what you said couldn&#x

CERN went with AlmaLinux along with many other big names.
