AlmaLinux OS - Forever-Free Enterprise-Grade Operating System
almalinux.org
An Open Source, community owned and governed, forever-free enterprise Linux distribution.

Main points:

“The AlmaLinux OS Foundation board today has decided to drop the aim to be 1:1 with RHEL. AlmaLinux OS will instead aim to be Application Binary Interface (ABI) compatible” by contributing to Centos Stream.

AlmaLinux “will also start asking anyone who reports bugs in AlmaLinux OS to attempt to test and replicate the problem in CentOS Stream as well, so we can focus our energy on correcting it in the right place.”

    The gist seems to be they want to abuse the UBI images or low cost cloud instances to rip out the RPM sources. Those statements would make me really nervous if I had a business using Rocky. Strange for an enterprise Linux focused server distribution. I think Alma’s approach shows a lot more maturity and foresight as a project.

      CIQ/Rocky wins a lot of EL Contract, yet they don’t even want to work as CentOS Stream SIG… :/
