Announcing the AlmaLinux Certification SIG
Quoting: AlmaLinux OS - Forever-Free Enterprise-Grade Operating System —
This SIG was born out of a desire to prove that AlmaLinux works in all places that our community needs it to. The members already helping are from all over the world, and have gotten engagement from some of the most respected hardware providers in the world. Our most active engagement has been with SuperMicro, and we are so grateful to them for helping us improve and expand the Hardware Certification Program.
One of our biggest supporters, Srini Bala, sent us this to share:
Our customers are looking for a trusted Enterprise Linux ecosystem, and AlmaLinux has positioned itself as one of the most secure of the no-cost options out there," said Srini Bala, GM of Solution Engineering at Super Micro Computer, Inc. “Supermicro’s 2U server was recently certified with the Hardware Certification Program, giving our customers more open-source Linux options for Compute intensive applications.”

AlmaLinux Now Certifies Hardware, and Will Certify Software Soon - FOSS Force
AlmaLinux, the Red Hat Enterprise Linux clone that started life as a replacement for CentOS after Red Hat announced it was pulling the plug on the distribution and replacing it with the altogether different CentOS Stream, announced on Tuesday that not only do they have a newly formed Certification Special Interest Group, but that the new SIG has already put together a hardware certification program to certify that AlmaLinux works as it should on specific hardware.
The latter is something of a feather in AlmaLiux’s cap as it makes the distro the first RHEL clone to offer hardware certification, which has long been available for RHEL. This will be a big deal for server-makers, since certification is important to potential enterprise customers that often run the same operating system across a large number of servers.

AlmaLinux Adds New Hardware Certification Program
To bolster its position in the enterprise Linux market, the AlmaLinux OS Foundation has unveiled a comprehensive Hardware Certification Program. It aims to ensure seamless compatibility between AlmaLinux and a wide range of hardware configurations.
This is done via an AlmaLinux certification for hardware special interest group (SIG)l. Jonathan Wright, the infrastructure team lead for AlmaLinux, will serve as SIG’s first chair.
It's noteworthy that AlmaLinux has long been interested in hardware support. For example, AlmaLinux has extended support for older gear that Red Hat no longer supports.
The AlmaLinux Hardware Certification Program will verify and certify AlmaLinux OS hardware compatibility.
