AlmaLinux OS is now available through the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) CLI tool, streamlining the process by removing the necessity for extra configuration or the Microsoft Store interface.
This update enables the installation of AlmaLinux on Windows Server environments where the Store is inaccessible. The compatible versions are AlmaLinux-8, AlmaLinux-9, and AlmaLinux-Kitten-10. To install AlmaLinux on WSL, one can utilize PowerShell, Windows Terminal, or CMD. To create AlmaLinux WSL images, users should install bash, git, buildah, and jq, and execute scripts located in the rootfs/ directory. Community members are encouraged to assist in testing the images within the ~SIG/Cloud channel, and your feedback is greatly appreciated. We invite the community to actively participate in the testing process within a Windows environment.
The ELevate Project has announced updates for AlmaLinux 10. The project consists of three phases: the introduction of new upgrade paths, features, bug fixes, and versions of leapp-repository and leapp-data in ELevate NG; testing these enhancements with the community; and conducting general testing to collect further data and features. The updates are anticipated to be made available to Stable following the general release of AlmaLinux OS 10 Stable.
The project has implemented an upgrade path to AlmaLinux Kitten 10 and has updated the leapp-repository to upstream version 0.22.0, incorporating the latest fixes and support for EL 10. The community is invited to assist in testing these new upgrade paths and to report any bugs to the ELevate leapp repository.
