Get a Sneakpeak of AlmaLinux OS 10 with Kitten 10
AlmaLinux, known for its close alignment with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), has adapted to recent changes from Red Hat, which no longer releases traditional beta versions of RHEL. In response, AlmaLinux developers launched their own build pipeline, leading to the creation of AlmaLinux OS Kitten 10—an early release candidate offering a preview of AlmaLinux OS 10, reports Linux Magazine.
Kitten 10 enables users and projects relying on AlmaLinux, like Miracle Linux and Cisco's Unified Communications Manager, to test and prepare for the forthcoming OS version. Additionally, AlmaLinux has reactivated support for over 150 device frame points dropped by RHEL, and introduced SPICE and KVM compatibility for IBM Power. Unlike CentOS Stream, which uses Flatpak editions, AlmaLinux continues to package Firefox and Thunderbird as RPMs, benefiting users with older hardware.
As Kitten 10 remains in the early stages, it’s not production-ready but is available for preview on the AlmaLinux official site.
