Good on AlmaLinux. This is more what I'd expect from a fork which is healthy for the ecosystem. Now they're esentially building their own thing.



Meh... there are plenty of (better) fish in the "do your own thing" sea. The thing that actually made CentOS, followed by Rocky+Alma compelling to anyone was the 1:1 bug compatibility with RHEL. Not sure what use-case exists for Alma once they are nothing beyond a mere knock-off of CentOS stream. Like why would you ever pick *that* over literally anything else?


CentOS Stream doesn't do minor releases and I assume AlmaLinux will continue making minor releases as they already do. Not everyone cares about that but some will.


Correct we will continue with minor releases every ~6 months.
