Main points:
“The AlmaLinux OS Foundation board today has decided to drop the aim to be 1:1 with RHEL. AlmaLinux OS will instead aim to be Application Binary Interface (ABI) compatible” by contributing to Centos Stream.
AlmaLinux “will also start asking anyone who reports bugs in AlmaLinux OS to attempt to test and replicate the problem in CentOS Stream as well, so we can focus our energy on correcting it in the right place.”
That is really good news, so they finally change from a parasitic relationship to a contributing one! This is a win for open source, even though many people like to paint red hat as the bad guy here.
Cudos to Alma for this decision.
I hope CIQ and Rocky can reflect on this. CIQ already win a lot of EL Contract, but nagging Red Hat to fix everything… :/ don’t even put any money, and hoarding all of money, asking Red Hat work for free…
