AlmaLinux 9.5 and Manjaro Gnome 24.2
AlmaLinux 9.5
64-bit
AlmaLinux is a leading community-based alternative to Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). Its releases are binary-compatible with RHEL rather than sharing the same code. Developed independently of RHEL, AlmaLinux includes hardware support that is not included in RHEL. Originally developed as a replacement for the discontinued CentOS, AlmaLinux's version numbers continue CentOS's numbering system.
AlmaLinux 9.5 adds .NET 9.0 and BIND 9.18 to its collection of toolkits. However, like most point releases, the 9.5 release is mostly concerned with updates of existing packages. These include numerous toolkits, application streams, performance tools and debuggers, and performance monitors. Also featured in the 9.5 release are the usual security updates and device monitors not included in RHEL. For a complete list of these changes, see https://wiki.almalinux.org/release-notes/9.5.html#changelog.
