AlmaLinux 9.6 Released, Here’s What’s New

Today, six months after the previous version 9.5, powered by kernel 5.14, AlmaLinux announces the global availability of the sixth update in the 9.x series on its enterprise Linux distro, AlmaLinux 9.6 (Sage Margay).

With this release, Alma expands its suite of offerings with a variety of Cloud, Container, and Live Images tailored for diverse deployment scenarios. Cloud images for AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure have been announced, covering both x86_64 and AArch64 architectures.

Moreover, images for Generic Cloud, OpenNebula, and Raspberry Pi are also expected shortly. Additionally, AlmaLinux continues its support for virtualization and containerization environments with Vagrant Boxes available for Libvirt, VirtualBox, Hyper-V, VMware, and Parallels.

AlmaLinux 9.6 Released on Same Day as RHEL 10 - FOSS Force

On Tuesday, the AlmaLinux OS Foundation announced the release of AlmaLinux 9.6, code-named “Sage Margay.” The release comes a week after Red Hat released Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.6.

Because AlmaLinux is a near-clone of RHEL (its feature set is exactly the same, although there might be slight differences in the code), many organizations running the distro in production may choose to skip this release, since yesterday Red Hat announced the official release of RHEL 10. With a beta version of AlmaLinux 10 already available, a ready-for-primetime release of AlmaLinux 10 is likely only days away.

That being said, a sizable number of users will decide to upgrade, since AlmaLinux will support the 9.x series through May 2027.
