About

AlmaLinux, launched under the code-name Project Lenix, is an open-source, community-driven enterprise Linux distribution originating from the United States. It was developed to fill the void left by the discontinuation of the CentOS stable release, serving as a 1:1 binary compatible fork of RHEL® 8. This non-profit project is privacy-focused, highly customizable, and utilizes an RPM package manager, making it a robust and free replacement for those seeking a stable RHEL-based system. Available for Linux platforms, AlmaLinux maintains an active presence on GitHub and Twitter, reflecting its community-driven nature.
