Finally! the day has come, when AlmaLinux stable version is ready to release. CloudLinux team has announced 30th March 2021 as the release date.
A live event will happen to make it a history Launch. Kudos! to the excellent team of CloudLinux and the open community to provide suggestions and feedback to make this happen. The team kept his promise of Project Lenix release on Q1-2021.
I have been a lover of CentOS as an IT professional, but the day RedHat CTO Chris announced that Centos 8 will be dead now. Everyone in the community was heartbroken including me. But the AlmaLinux team gave us a chance again to celebrate.
AlmaLinux the true CentOS replacement
I have installed and tested the beta version of AlmaLinux. It’s almost the same as CentOS being a fork of RHEL 8. You will not find any difference between CentOS 8 And AlmaLinux Except brand and Logos. Even it’s a bit more stable and beautiful, in my view.
” Final nail in Coffin of Dead CentOS 8, RIP CentOS. I will miss you”
I think AlmaLinux OS Purple Manul may emerge as a true replacement for CentOS 8 in future.

Alma word is a Latin word, which means “soul“. Big applause for the CloudLinux team to keep this soul alive.
Sincere thanks to CloudLinux CEO and management, who decided to invest in Lenix project.
I hope soon Lenix team will fulfil its second promise to provide a way to convert existing CentOS servers with absolutely zero downtime.
Waiting eagerly, when official script to migrate from CentOS 8 to AlmaLinux will be released.
Let’s join this event and make it successful. It’s my appeal to all FOSS lovers and who believe to keep the flag high of open community.
