Hi, I came back to the forums to read up on a question I have asked and brought me to ask another question. I am wondering about Alma Linux 10 v2 for a certain machine a bit now.

So would AlmaLinux 10 v2 have been a better fit for this machine then the currently installed AlmaLinux 9.7 (with the ongoing KDE connect issue)?
How long will AlmaLinux 10 v2 have support until? Will it force Wayland or have X11 options continue? With the onboard GPU it is no problem either way?
Alma 10 v2. AlmaLinux does build a copy of EPEL for 10 v2. as I read through an older post I started here :< AlmaLinux 9.7 or AlmaLinux 10.1
So I wanted to hear your thoughts on this a bit if possible.
-Thanks
