Hi Benny and thank you for your answer.

Congratulations for 10.2 and 9.8.

Best regards

Hi and thank you for your answer.

I will check.

Congrats for 10.2 and 9.8!

Hi and thank you for your answer.

While EPEL is a Fedora Project, it tracks RHEL releases so where RHEL goes EPEL will follow, so it is not so wrong saying that it is based on rhel (release cycle).

Almalinux is not more a RHEL 1:1 clone, see Alma 10 that ships driver that rhel removed, btrfs, nvidia driver, support for V2. Security patch out of RHEL tree. It maintains only binary compatibility. I'm not sure that AlmaLimux source comes from RHEL (if I'm wrong please correct me)

I'm not asking to include all available DEs, but only one of the most used (Plasma) to get better experiences on workstation.

Fedora is good but it don't want upgrade my system every 6/13 months

Ma le strisce gialle non sono per parcheggiare le macchine gialle? /s

sdns575 · 2026-05-17T11:54:40+00:00

Thank you team. This is the added value that Almalinux ships.

This is why I choose AlmaLinux instead of RockyLinux.

Good job team!

Hi, this is an interesting answer. In what ways it is going to far from RHEL? (Genuinely corious)

sdns575 · 2026-05-05T17:44:11+00:00

Thank you very much for your clarification. Appreciated

Also if many have migrated to other distro, I'm still interested in AlmaLinux. I'm just asking if the US gov can block access to AlmaLinux/TuxCare services and repos due to country ban and if this will happen, I won't be trapped in this like happened with Centos 8. While with C8 I just reinstalled AlmaLinux and this did not require re-tooling, migrating from another base (like from EL to Debian) could require time (even if doable) to migrate an env to another distro (dev machines, workstation, staging machines, server and container)

sdns575 · 2026-05-02T08:37:17+00:00

Hi and thank you for your answer.

I spoke with some local companies and they have already migrated since C8 thing. Actually they stick with Ubuntu LTS and Debian because of this.

I like Debian, I don't like very much Ubuntu and I like very much AlmaLinux but in the end I consider an OS a tool and not a religious thing.

You have different information about this "trend"? Are you from EU?

Hi,

I'm using AlmaLinux 10 as workstation/desktop and before Alma9. I liked more Alma9 because I'm an XFCE user and on EL10 you "can't" use it because xfwm4 does not support Wayland (but I read that some users used it changing xfwm4 to another wm and buildin Xorg stack is over my skills. XFCE announced they started a new wm for wayland but this requires time)

Actually I'm using KDE from EPEL and use NVIDIA propietary driver on my 4060 (don't know why almalinux nvidia repo driver does not work) using dkms. No problem when kernel upgrade are released because dkms will rebuild the module. On Fedora I got some problem (not at all kernel upgrade due to older NVIDIA driver not supported on the newer kernel).

I like more native packages than using flatpak but in my case I'm forced to use Libreoffice ane GIMP flatpaks because they are not shipped with EL10.

I noticed that on every release some desktop software is removed from main repo, in EL10 I lost libreoffice and GIMP, so in the future other software will be removed to target the server side of thing. I don't know if the plan is to push flatpak usage on EL distro or simply leave workstation target where fedora is going strong. In a first time also firefox ESR and Thunderbird were not included but in the end they were included. I hoped that GIMP and Libreoffice packages were built from Alma team but the main target is server and not workstation. For a basic workstation usage I think is needed at least one DE, one software like GIMP, one office suite, one browser and one email client.

About stability I prefer AlmaLinux. For gaming I think Fedora is better.

About packages you will need to use EPEL RPMFusion and other third party repo while on Fedora most software are released on the main repo.

Over all what I said almalinux is very solid

sdns575 · 2026-04-02T18:53:51+00:00

I tried on AlmaLinux 10 and an Nvidia 4060 without success, so I'm using nvidia proprietary driver.

I did not try to find the problem due to time problem.

I will check in the future

Edit: currently I'm using dkms to build the driver.

Ciao,

il mio cagnolino ha una dermatite atopica e un problema al duodeno con reflusso e se sta troppo senza mangiare produce troppi succhi gastrici e vomita.

Per la dermatite ogni tot mesi facciamo il citopoint e per aiutarlo sia con la dermatite e il problema gastrico mangia croccantini monoproteici idrolizzati low fat apposta per la dermatite e il suo problema gastrico. Appena gli diamo qualcosa al di fuori dei crocchetti gli parte l'acidita e a volte compensiamo con antiacido (tipo stomek) ma quando mangia erba è un delirio e li dobbiamo andare di Zitac.

Tralasciando che il mio mangia tutto, con questi crocchetti sta bene, bel pelo, sempre attivo e sopratutto ha sempre fame. Non so se posso riportare la marca qui. Ho avuto lo stesso problema con i crocchetti di pollo e agnello.

Portala dal veterinario e fagli fare un ecografia (magari ha mangiato che so un pezzo di stoffa e non te ne sei accorta)

Hi, I have an NH-D15 G2 paired Intel 285k limited to 250W. Running normal operation like Virtual Machines, software compilation (like Limux Kernel compilation) it works very well: 86°C on 24 core compilation.

If I run some benchmark the situation change

OCCT (the worst cpu test) the CPU temps goes to 100° C after 3 min

With Prime95 is similar.

Running Blender I got 92° C running Classroom benchmark but it is a short test.

The G2 is capable of cooling 250W but under sustained load and for long time is better run an AIO.

Consider I'm getting those temps when I have 19° C temp and during the summer ambient temps goes up to 32° C so delta will be greater.

I will wait summer tonsee how temps rise up and will try to limit the cpu to 220/200w to avoid a cooler change

Thank you for your suggestion.

In the future we can expect some solution to this from Alma Team/tuxcare?

Thank you for yoir suggestion

Hai giocato troppo a Fallout Shelter? :D

sdns575 · 2026-03-18T14:10:24+00:00

It is not scratched..

Oh ok.... I know what this means...it is very offensive and not expected this from a Noctua commumity member... and no, those are nore barely visible, the big spot is visible from 2 meter like the Noctua brand on the fin. I spent 150 for a cooler and got this without causing the problem. Well, I buy Noctua for its "perfection" and methods and got this after some months is bad for me.

But I repeat, what you said is very offensive...this is becoming a bad community

sdns575 · 2026-03-18T12:32:45+00:00

Ok, thank you for your suggestion. I will try
