Alma Linux was much faster at releasing updates than Rocky. Alma also had secure boot working on their first release, whereas Rocky didn’t.
That’s why I favored it. Alma seemed to have more robust infrastructure and processes in place looking from the outside.
- passthejoe 3y agoAlma also has a live ISO.
- bclemens 3y agoRocky Linux has a large selection of live ISOs in different flavor desktop environments / etc at https://rockylinux.org/alternative-images https://rockylinux.org/alternative-images
- bclemens 3y agoAlma used CloudLinux's secure boot key (among other CloudLinux infrastructure / resources) for their first few releases. Rocky Linux didn't have secure boot out the gate because we built everything from scratch, which included going through the long process of getting our own secure boot key approved / signed by Microsoft. See https://github.com/rhboot/shim-review/issues/194 https://github.com/rhboot/shim-review/issues/194 (Alma didn't get their own until https://github.com/rhboot/shim-review/issues/235 https://github.com/rhboot/shim-review/issues/235)
