The AlmaLinux OS Foundation has announced the release of AlmaLinux OS 9.5, codenamed Teal Serval. This new version serves as a free alternative to Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 9.5, bringing numerous enhancements and updated packages alongside its foundational compatibility.
With this release, users will benefit from improved system performance monitoring, visualization, and data collection capabilities. It introduces updated module streams, enhancing support for web applications. Additionally, security updates are targeted to strengthen cryptography, and crypto-policies packages have been improved to better manage algorithm selection in Java.
Notable updates in AlmaLinux OS 9.5 include the SELinux policy adjustments, allowing the QEMU Guest Agent to execute confined commands. The ca-certificates program has also been revised to offer trusted CA roots in a format compatible with OpenSSL.
This version provides developers with enhanced performance, reliability, and scalability through updated compiler versions: GCC 14, LLVM 18.1.8, Rust 1.79.0, and Go 1.22, along with additional packages like .NET 9.0, BIND 9.18, Apache 2.4.62, and more.
AlmaLinux OS 9.5 continues to utilize the Linux kernel 5.14.0-427.13.1.el9_4, and installation ISOs are available for various architectures, including 64-bit (x86_64), AArch64 (ARM64), PowerPC 64-bit Little Endian (ppc64le), and IBM system Z (s390x).
For users looking to upgrade their existing installations, the process is straightforward. Running the command sudo dnf upgrade -y in a terminal will update their systems to the latest version.
