AlmaLinux 9.4 Released, Here's What's New
linuxiac, Monday, May 6th, 2024
Today, AlmaLinux OS Foundation announces the much-anticipated arrival of AlmaLinux 9.4, codenamed 'Seafoam Ocelot.' One thing can't be denied: Alma is a champion of rolling out their releases quickly right after RHEL's main one; in this case, the gap is four days.
For this edition, AlmaLinux stands out by closely mirroring release and software versions with Red Hat Enterprise Linux by leveraging the same sources as RHEL, ensuring (almost) complete compatibility.
Why do we say almost? Well, because they announced in the middle of last year in the blog post titled 'The Future of AlmaLinux is Bright,' amidst the drama of Red Hat restricting access to its source code, that from now on, they will stick to ABI (Application Binary Interface) compatibility with RHEL only.
