AlmaLinux OS might be the best replacement for CentOS Linux |
 |
In 2020 it was announced Red Hat would be phasing out CentOS Linux in favour of CentOS Stream. This move caught a number of people by surprise and several community projects rushed in to fill the void. Practically overnight several distributions based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux's source code sprang to life. While each of these new clones strives to be binary compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), each one has its own special features, architecture support, documentation, and support options. Has one RHEL clone stood out from the others? FOSS Force has put forward an opinion piece on why AlmaLinux OS might be the long-term best option of the various replacements for CentOS Linux. "Not only does AlmaLinux seem to be in front in terms of financing, it's also ahead of the game in the technology department, where its developers have demonstrated the efficacy of their development technology twice already.
This started with the distro being the first out-of-the-gate with it's first release, AlmaLinux 8.3, last March, nearly three months ahead of Rocky Linux's first release, even though they both began development at about the same time. In November, less than 48 hours after RHEL 8.5 was released, AlmaLinux devs released their own 8.5 version based on it, several days ahead of Rocky.
The project has also developed and released open source software that potentially benefits anyone using RHEL or any its clones." |
