AlmaLinux OS to re-add hardware support dropped by RHEL |
 |
Earlier this month we talked about how the AlmaLinux project has managed to patch a security flaw ahead of its upstream distribution, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). The AlmaLinux team is continuing to offer additional benefits to its users, with the distribution adding (or re-adding) support for hardware RHEL no longer supports. FOSS Force reports, quoting Benny Vasquez, chairperson of the AlmaLinux Foundation: "'This move is made directly at the request of the AlmaLinux community,' the Foundation said in a statement. 'Everyone from industries across the world to hardware enthusiasts to the various labs and groups researching the very nature of our existence need to be able to keep their systems running updated operating systems without the added expense and hassle of being forced to migrate to new hardware. Supporting older hardware makes sense for the good of our community and the good of our planet.'
Vasquez told me that the final decision to return support for devices that had been deprecated by RHEL was made last month after some work was done in that direction at a hackathon. She says that going forward, the distro will be seeking feedback from users, and that she has gone so far as to post a thread in the AlmaLinux forums that seeks further input from users." |
