> The first stable release of AlmaLinux was published on March 30, 2021.

It's a relatively new project that some might not believe in quite as much as something like CentOS, that has a long and proven track record across multiple releases throughout the years.

That's also the problem that Rocky Linux will have in the minds of some, which might get someone laughed out of the room (exaggerating a bit) for suggesting something other than RHEL or Oracle Linux nowadays.

Of course, personally, as long as the community behind either project has a good reputation and hasn't given me a reason to assume otherwise, I think that AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux are both decent distros. I just hope that the projects have a bright future ahead of them.
