CentOS fork

[ihrsetrdr]

In December 2020, Red Hat terminated CentOS development. Red Hat will however continue to support the related rolling-release distro, CentOS Stream. As a response, CentOS founder, Gregory Kurtzer, created the Rocky Linux project as a successor to the original mission of CentOS. Similarly, Cloud Linux (makers of CloudLinux OS) announced a new CentOS clone.

Launched with the code-name Project Lenix, AlmaLinux is an open-source, community-driven project that intends to fill the gap left by the demise of the CentOS stable release. AlmaLinux is a 1:1 binary compatible fork of RHEL® 8 and it is built by the creators of the established CloudLinux OS.
