AlmaLinux, CloudLinux's new business Linux distro based on RHEL and CentOS, will be released in the first quarter of 2021. . When Red Hat , CentOS 's Linux parent company, announced it was " shifting focus from CentOS Linux , the rebuild of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) , to CentOS Stream , which tracks just ahead of a current RHEL release," the move ticked off many people . So, CloudLinux immediately announced it would create a new CentOS clone, Lenix , and that it would put over a million dollars a year behind the new Linux distribution. Now, it has a new name, AlmaLinux , and a more concrete plan. CloudLinux is doing this, Igor Seletskiy, CEO and founder, explained, because: "The demise of the CentOS stable release left a very large gap in the Linux community which prompted CloudLinux to step in and launch a CentOS alternative. For CloudLinux it was an obvious move: The Linux community was in need. AlmaLinux is built with CloudLinux expertise but will be owned and governed by the community. We intend to deliver this forever-free Linux distribution this quarter." . CloudLinux seeks to address the void created by CentOS by introducing AlmaLinux, a community-focused RHEL substitute set to debut in the first quarter of 2021..
