Hi, I’ve been a long-time RHEL clone user since the days of CentOS 4.x. After CentOS 8.x went EOL prematurely I switched to Rocky Linux (after a brief stint on Oracle Linux). I have Rocky Linux running on all my desktops and servers. I noticed that 9.x doesn’t boot on some older hardware like some…

AlmaLinux does not try to be bug-for-bug compatible. Just “If it [application] runs on RHEL X, then it should run on AlmaLinux X”. The release notes do list some deviations (additional hardware support): For 8: 8.10 | AlmaLinux Wiki For 9: 9.6 | AlmaLinux Wiki For 10: 10.0 Beta | AlmaLinux Wiki …

I just downloaded Rocky Linux 10.0 and gave it a spin on my sandbox PC, a Dell Optiplex 3020 with an Intel Core i5 processor. This is what we mainly use in our local school.

I installed Alma Linux 10 on my sandbox PC, and everything ran smoothly. One thing’s not working though. I installed the EPEL release package (dnf install epel-release) but so far nothing seems to be available. I think the release package itself contains the wrong URL, since all the packages appear…

Nope, you’ve done nothing wrong. That’s the correct folder for those packages, but it looks like they’re still being built. We should have EPEL ready Soon™, like @jlehtone said. :smiley:
