    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/pul…

    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 logg…

    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…

    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, cont…

    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 ques…

    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…

    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 …

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

    Comment #40276625

    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 - …

    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 commi…

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

    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.
