The AlmaLinux Foundation, which produces the community-owned and governed CentOS alternative AlmaLinux, has announced support for the Raspberry Pi.

The AlmaLinux OS Foundation has announced the general availability of AlmaLinux 8.10, a community-owned open-source alternative to CentOS.

The AlmaLinux OS Foundation has announced the release of AlmaLinux 9.4 just a week after the release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.4, with hardware support for those devices deprecated in RHEL.

The ELevate project at AlmaLinux, one of the main distributions that aim to provide a replacement for CentOS, has been expanded to provide support for those who wish to migrate from CentOS 6 to CentOS 7.

The AlmaLinux OS Foundation has released AlmaLinux 9.3, it first release built entirely from upstream sources without any recourse to source code from Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

After the recent changes in source code availability enforced by the IBM-owned Red Hat, enterprise Linux is likely to take a different path to that which it was following when the standard was being a downstream rebuild of RHEL, the chair of AlmaLinux OS Foundation, one of the distributions that sprang up after Red Hat discontinued CentOS, says.

Red Hat has given an indication of how desperate it is to spread its views, about the latest act of making the source of its RHEL distribution available only to paying customers, that it is paying to have its executives interviewed.

The disquiet over Red Hat's recent move to make it extremely difficult for others to gain access to the source code of its enterprise Linux distribution — Red Hat Enterprise Linux or RHEL — doesn't appear to be dying down though more than a month has passed since the company said source code would, from now on, be available only to paying customers.

The chairman of the board at AlmaLinux, one of the distributions that sprang up after Red Hat discontinued CentOS, has admitted that it would not be possible to continue providing a 1:1 binary copy of RHEL.
