AlmaLinux OS: Desktop, SBC’s, hyperscale, or cloud – use it wherever you need it!
Author: benny Vasquez
The AlmaLinux OS Foundation is extremely excited to return to our favorite event: All Things Open! We see this event almost as our home, because this was the first event we ever attended in 2021, and we have made so many friends here.
What is AlmaLinux?
In case you haven’t heard of us: AlmaLinux OS is an enterprise Linux operating system that is used across the globe for enterprise and hobbyist needs alike. We got our start as a downstream rebuild of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, but last year we shifted to maintaining compatibility with RHEL, opening up many new and exciting doors. With over 1 Million devices calling home to one of our 400+ geo-located mirrors every night, we have been embraced by the linux community at large, and support 4 major architectures.

Upgrade in place – no more migrating!
As users of the historic CentOS Linux, we have been working diligently to solve the problems and pain points that we all experienced, and one way we’ve done that is with in-place major version upgrades with Project ELevate. It’s been used on more than 500,000 production environments, and continues to help folks every single day.

If you have a couple of dollars, you can back us on GitHub sponsors or on OpenCollective, and companies can join the Foundation as sponsor members.
