De AlmaLinux OS Foundation heeft versie 10.1 van AlmaLinux OS uitgebracht. AlmaLinux is net als Rocky Linux ontstaan nadat Red Hat had besloten CentOS niet verder meer te ontwikkelen. Het OS is voornamelijk bedoeld om voor servertaken ingezet te worden. Waar versie 9 was gebaseerd op Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9, wordt voor versie 10 CentOS Stream 10 code als basis gebruikt en is verder binary compatible is met RHEL 10.

Release Notes and More InformationAlmaLinux 10.1 introduces performance enhancements, updated development tools, and improved security. This release delivers new compiler toolsets and updated module streams, along with improvements to debugging and networking tools. Container and virtualization support is enhanced with the latest versions of Podman and Buildah. Security is improved with updated SELinux policies, OpenSSL featuring post-quantum cryptography support, and newer versions of SSSD and Keylime.
Btrfs SupportAlmaLinux 10.1 also includes support for the Btrfs filesystem, which has already been available in AlmaLinux OS Kitten since early September. Btrfs support encompasses both kernel and userspace enablement, and it is now possible to install AlmaLinux OS on a Btrfs filesystem from the very beginning. Initial enablement was scoped to the installer and storage management stack, and broader support within the AlmaLinux software collection for Btrfs features is forthcoming.
Other ImprovementsIn addition to Btrfs support, AlmaLinux OS 10.1 includes numerous other improvements to serve our community. We have continued to extend hardware support both by adding drivers and by adding a secondary version of AlmaLinux OS and EPEL to extend support of x86_64_v2 processors.
We have also re-enabled SPICE support and Re-enabled frame pointers by default. We have continued our enablement of KVM for IBM POWER in the virtualization stack, and are enabling the CRB repository by default for new AlmaLinux OS installations.
The full list of improvements. can be found in the AlmaLinux OS 10.1 Release Notes.
