What is AlmaLinux?
Launched with the code-name Project Lenix, AlmaLinux OS is an open-source, community-driven project that intends to fill the gap left by the demise of the CentOS stable release. AlmaLinux OS is a 1:1 binary compatible fork of RHEL® 8 and it is built by the creators of the established CloudLinux OS.
As a standalone, completely free OS, AlmaLinux OS enjoys $1M in annual sponsorship from CloudLinux Inc. We will support future RHEL® releases by updating AlmaLinux OS. Ongoing development efforts are governed by the members of the community.
The AlmaLinux OS Foundation is a 501(c)(6) non-profit created for the benefit of the AlmaLinux OS community.

Supposed alternative to discontinued CentOS
Sick of that CentOS Stream nonsense? You've come to the right place!
It's the perfect replacement for following RHEL now when CentOS changed their distributions and focus.
Company backed & funded, great documentation since it is 1:1 RHEL 8 clone.
