AlmaLinux OS 10 Released as a Free Alternative to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10

posted by Marius Nestor on May 27, 2025,
updated Jun 01, 2025

Built from the same sources as Red Hat Enterprise Linux and fully compatible with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 release, AlmaLinux OS 10 introduces support for Simple Protocol for Independent Computing Environments (SPICE), a tech-preview of KVM virtualization support for the IBM Power architecture, Secure Boot support for ARM platforms, and support for frame pointers for diagnosing and optimizing your applications.

While Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 only supports the x86_64-v3 architecture, AlmaLinux OS 10 also extends the life of EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) for the x86_64-v2 architecture. This ensures that users with older hardware will continue to receive security updates for another 10 years. In addition, the new AlmaLinux OS release re-enables support for more than 150 devices that were removed upstream.

Can’t afford RHEL? AlmaLinux 10 is enterprise Linux for cheapskates [Ed: There's some slop in this page]

AlmaLinux 10.0, nicknamed “Purple Lion,” is officially available here, and it is a clear choice for anyone who wants RHEL 10 compatibility without spending a cent. For those unwilling (cheapskates) or unable (broke) to pay Red Hat’s subscription fees, this release feels like a gift.

AlmaLinux 10 Released, This Is What's New

Exactly a week after the RHEL 10 release, the AlmaLinux OS Foundation has officially announced the availability of AlmaLinux OS 10 “Purple Lion,” powered by kernel 6.12, providing a reliable, fully RHEL-compatible Linux experience.

Building on the brand-new AlmaLinux OS Kitten upstream, AlmaLinux OS 10 introduces notable improvements tailored for developers and users of diverse hardware configurations. One major upgrade is the inclusion of frame pointers enabled by default, facilitating advanced system-wide real-time tracing and profiling.

Addressing hardware compatibility, AlmaLinux OS 10 notably extends support for older CPUs, offering x86-64-v2 architecture binaries alongside the default x86-64-v3 builds inherited from RHEL 10. Thus, continuous security updates for users reliant on legacy hardware will be ensured for an additional ten years.
