AlmaLinux is a community-driven, free Linux distribution based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). Developed by the CloudLinux team, AlmaLinux provides a 1:1 binary-compatible experience with RHEL, making it an ideal choice for users seeking an alternative after CentOS shifted to a rolling-release model in 2021.
RHEL Compatibility: AlmaLinux is fully compatible with RHEL, ensuring that applications and server configurations running on RHEL work seamlessly on AlmaLinux.
Long-Term Support (LTS): Each version of AlmaLinux offers long-term support, typically around 10 years, allowing users to rely on stable updates and security patches for extended periods.
Community-Driven: Managed by the AlmaLinux OS Foundation, AlmaLinux is an open-source project that welcomes contributions from the community, giving users and developers a role in its future direction.
Strong Security: AlmaLinux provides regular security updates and incorporates the SELinux module, ensuring a secure and reliable environment.
Installing AlmaLinux is straightforward and follows similar steps to other RHEL-based distributions. Users can download the ISO from the official AlmaLinux website and use a bootable USB for installation, guided by a user-friendly graphical interface.
AlmaLinux offers a robust, community-supported, RHEL-compatible distribution, making it a reliable alternative for CentOS users.
