What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing to dislike: if you consider AlmaLinux as a community supported distribution, the expectations are low enough.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use AlmaLinux as a primary Operating System for all our business hosting needs, running the applications, docker containers, libvirt virtual machines.
Great 10 years patches support allows us to cut the costs for the applications moving.

The new CentOS
What do you like best about the product?
Stability. It is like RHEL but free to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you want technical support it's not the best choice. For Enterprise use I'd choose the paid system by the same company.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is completely free and upgradable to CLOS.
better than any cloud image
this image is genuine almaos and i am quite happy and most important thing is its free version of rhel.
An excellent alternate to RHEL
What do you like best about the product?
It's a lifetime free enterprise-level solution that has all the required services in place with excellent community support. A large number of organizations adopt it.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main downside is that some of the features are not there due to patent problems. Another one could be the absence of the NTFS file system by default mode—no other major downside.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been deploying various ETL pipelines on the AlmaLinux parallel with RHEL, and the results have been surprising. Its performance is neck to neck when we compare it to RHEL. It has been a great cost-efficient alternative to RHEL.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a must-have Linux distro for those with limited licensing capabilities but looking for no compromise in performance. It is nowhere less than RHEL in peak performance scenarios. Most features work the same.
