AlmaLinux is a free and open source Linux distribution, a community-supported, production-grade enterprise operating system that is binary-compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). The name of the distribution comes from the word "alma", meaning "soul" in Spanish and other Latin languages. It was chosen to be a homage to the Linux community. It is developed by the American AlmaLinux OS Foundation, a 501(c) organization.
The first stable release of AlmaLinux was published on 30 March 2021, and will be supported until 1 March 2029. AlmaLinux is built using publicly-viewable and reproducible methods using the AlmaLinux Build System (ALBS), which is a customized build system whose source code, like the distribution itself, is publicly distributed and licensed under open-source licenses.
