If you could with CentOS up to now, unless RHEL changes in a different direction, you can continue doing it.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;#x200B;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;When will it be released?&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;del&gt;We are aiming for the final version to be released in Q1 2021. The beta Release Candidate is out now, check it out at&lt;/del&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://blog.almalinux.org/&quot;&gt;&lt;del&gt;blog.almalinux.org&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;del&gt;.&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#39;s live now! You can download the bits at &lt;a href=&quot;https://repo.almalinux.org/almalinux/8/isos/x86_64/&quot;&gt;https://repo.almalinux.org/almalinux/8/isos/x86_64/&lt;/a&gt; or in one of our many mirrors, check them out at &lt;a href=&quot;https://mirrors.almalinux.org&quot;&gt;https://mirrors.almalinux.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;#x200B;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Who is AlmaLinux OS for?&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;Anyone who currently relies on the CentOS stable release to achieve computing objectives. Individuals and organizations that require an enterprise-grade, Fedora-like distribution but who do not want to or cannot pay for a RHEL license.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;#x200B;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Why did we call it AlmaLinux OS?&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;Alma means soul in Spanish and other Latin languages. Looking back, it is easy to see that Linux is as popular and pervasive as it is thanks to the efforts of a passionate, diverse developer community. This community is the soul of Linux, and everyone that relies on a Linux distribution is indebted to the efforts of the Linux community. That is why we called our new distribution AlmaLinux OS.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;#x200B;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;What motivated us?&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;We’re already doing it – experience with RHEL forks towards CloudLinux. We have the staff, the capabilities, the resources. Frankly: we want to put ourselves on the map re CloudLinux and KernelCare. It is worth the effort.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;#x200B;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;How is the community protected from future course changes?&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;We will involve the community right through the process, including in the governing board. At all times, AlmaLinux OS will be free and open. The community can pick the project at any time.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;#x200B;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Why should I rely on CloudLinux for a CentOS alternative?&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;Our core product, the CloudLinux OS, is a RHEL fork that has been in place for over ten years. More than 4,000 companies including Dell, Liquid Web, and 1&amp;amp;1 rely on the CloudLinux OS across more than 200,000 product installations. CloudLinux has proven experience in creating and maintaining a RHEL fork and have done so starting with RHEL release 5, right through to release 8. AlmaLinux OS is an opportunity for us to channel our expertise in RHEL into a Linux distribution that serves the broader community. Furthermore, we are including the Linux community right from the inception of AlmaLinux OS. Moving forward, community members will be on the governing board for the AlmaLinux OS project and involved in key decisions too. Finally, AlmaLinux OS will always be free and open source. The community can pick up and continue to develop AlmaLinux OS at any time.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;#x200B;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;When do we plan on releasing AlmaLinux OS?&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;In delivering AlmaLinux OS we are essentially continuing a process that is already in place due to our experience in forking RHEL. We are confident that we can rapidly deliver AlmaLinux OS, and plan on doing so in Q1, 2021.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;#x200B;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;I want to convert from CentOS to AlmaLinux OS. How do I do it?&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;Switching Linux distros can be a headache, but that is not the case when switching from CentOS to AlmaLinux OS. Just like CentOS, AlmaLinux OS is a 1:1 binary compatible fork of RHEL, so switching is simple. We will provide &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/AlmaLinux/almalinux-deploy&quot;&gt;instructions&lt;/a&gt; to swap repositories and keys once the Beta is out.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;#x200B;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Can I really port an entire fleet of servers from CentOS to AlmaLinux OS with a single command?&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;As stated, AlmaLinux OS will be a 1:1 binary compatible fork of RHEL, which means that your applications and services will remain compatible. For that reason, you can rapidly migrate any number of servers with just one command.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;#x200B;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Until when will we support AlmaLinux OS?&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;CloudLinux has committed to supporting AlmaLinux OS until 2029, including stable and thoroughly tested updates and security patches.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;#x200B;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Where can I download the ISOs?&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;We have a few convenient methods to download the ISO. First, you can easily download it from the main site using this link: &lt;a href=&quot;https://repo.almalinux.org/almalinux/8/isos/x86_64/&quot;&gt;https://repo.almalinux.org/almalinux/8/isos/x86_64/&lt;/a&gt; as well as any of our mirrors &lt;a href=&quot;https://mirrors.almalinux.org/&quot;&gt;https://mirrors.almalinux.org&lt;/a&gt;. Additionally, for convenience, we have a torrent link available here: &lt;a href=&quot;https://repo.almalinux.org/almalinux/8/isos/x86_64/AlmaLinux-8.3.torrent&quot;&gt;https://repo.almalinux.org/almalinux/8/isos/x86_64/AlmaLinux-8.3.torrent&lt;/a&gt;. Please note that this torrent is for ALL ISOs (boot, minimal and full) but most torrent clients will let you select which part of the torrent you would wish to download. You can use the CHECKSUM (&lt;a href=&quot;https://repo.almalinux.org/almalinux/8/isos/x86_64/CHECKSUM&quot;&gt;https://repo.almalinux.org/almalinux/8/isos/x86_64/CHECKSUM&lt;/a&gt;) to verify that your download has transferred properly.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;#x200B;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Why is AlmaLinux OS Foundation Incorporating as a 501(c)(6) and not a 501(c)(3)?&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;The reasons the foundation has chosen to incorporate as a 501(c)(6) are related to the inherent nature of the types of nonprofits. First, the fundraising requirements of a 501(c)(3) require the foundation to solicit and obtain a certain threshold of its operating budget via annual donations. This is the reason you see those big banners on Wikipedia each year, for example. We’d rather not bother you for money as CloudLinux as well as other sponsors are footing the bill for the foundation’s operations. Second, 501(c)(6) are meant to serve primarily to advance a common business interest and allow the foundation to engage in political activism, should the foundation deem it necessary. These two purposes seem to align with the foundation’s mission and while we do not necessarily think we will engage in political activism, and support tech activist organizations such as the EFF, OSI, etc., we would not necessarily like to silence our voice if we don’t have to.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;#x200B;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Q: What is the size of the ISO?&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;The full ISO is about 9GB in size. The minimal ISO is 1.8GB in size.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;#x200B;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Are [Insert Platform Here] images available for AlmaLinux?&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;Currently, We offer a variety of cloud images for different platforms. You can find them on the Cloud Images github page at &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/AlmaLinux/cloud-images&quot;&gt;https://github.com/AlmaLinux/cloud-images&lt;/a&gt;. Currently there are Vagrant, Virtualbox and Libvirt images available. Public cloud images (AWS, GCE, etc.) as well as OpenStack images are in the final stages of testing and will be released shortly. If you’d like to contribute, please open a pull request. We would be delighted!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;#x200B;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Is there any migration path from CentOS Stream to AlmaLinux?&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, no not at this time. We only support conversion from CentOS 8. We are investigating the possibility of providing this in the future.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;#x200B;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Can I use any of the other repos that are commonly used with CentOS such as EPEL, etc?&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;Yes, absolutely. In fact, if you have any issues doing this, please file a bug report about it at bugs.almalinux.org, it shouldn&amp;#39;t be happening.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;#x200B;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Does AlmaLinux provide any Docker and/or Podman images?&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;Yes. Podman/Docker images are available on our docker-images github page: &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/AlmaLinux/docker-images&quot;&gt;https://github.com/AlmaLinux/docker-images&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;#x200B;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;What about AARCH64 support?&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;The AlmaLinux team is prioritizing ARM support. We have entered several partnerships within the ARM ecosystem to facilitate a release sometime in Q2 2021.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;#x200B;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Will the AARCH release support Raspberry PIs?&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;Depends on how nicely you behave. ;)&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;#x200B;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Will there be UEFI SecureBoot support?&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;Yes absolutely. We have already setup the certificate infrastructure for it and just waiting for Microsoft and Red Hat to sign the relevant bits to work properly.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;#x200B;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Will cPanel be supported on AlmaLinux?&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;cPanel and WHM 94 will be fully supported on AlmaLinux. You can read their announcement here: &lt;a href=&quot;https://blog.cpanel.com/almalinux-and-full-cpanel-support/&quot;&gt;https://blog.cpanel.com/almalinux-and-full-cpanel-support/&lt;/a&gt;. Jesse Asklund of cPanel has joined the board of AlmaLinux as a gesture of cPanel’s support of the project.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;#x200B;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Will AlmaLinux fork RHEL 7/CentOS 7?&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;As RHEL7/CentOS’s EOL is in 3 years we do not believe we will be forking RHEL7. However, CloudLinux will provide commercial extended lifecycle support for the CentOS 7 once that becomes relevant.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;#x200B;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;How can I join the AlmaLinux Team?&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;The community is open for all to join. The best ways to participate and contribute are to join us on &lt;a href=&quot;https://reddit.com/r/AlmaLinux&quot;&gt;Reddit&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/AlmaLinux/&quot;&gt;Github&lt;/a&gt;. If you&amp;#39;re interested in joining CloudLinux then we&amp;#39;d love to have you too. Please see our &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.cloudlinux.com/index.php/about-us/company/jobs&quot;&gt;Careers&lt;/a&gt; page for more info.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;#x200B;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Will Plesk support AlmaLinux?&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;Yes, Plesk support is planned for Summer 2021. You can read more about it here: &lt;a href=&quot;https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360018916859-Will-Plesk-support-AlmaLinux-as-an-alternative-to-CentOS-8-&quot;&gt;https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360018916859-Will-Plesk-support-AlmaLinux-as-an-alternative-to-CentOS-8-&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;#x200B;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;How do I update from beta or RC to stable?&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;Simple. `dnf upgrade`&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;#x200B;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Are you planning on getting AlmaLinux certified for FIPS, CIS, etc?&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;Yes, we are planning on CIS and FIPS support. It is currently in process.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;#x200B;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;I&amp;#39;m an enterprise user and I need a support package to adopt a new distribution. What types of Commercial Support are available for AlmaLinux?&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;CloudLinux is planning to offer a number of commercial support packages for AlmaLinux. Please stay tuned for a future announcement.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;#x200B;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;How long will it take for updates that land in RHEL to land in AlmaLinux?&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;We don’t have a definite answer on this but we plan on it being much quicker than what was going on with CentOS. That’s one of the reason we decide to do this.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;#x200B;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Will the package sources be made public?&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;Yes, absolutely.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- SC_ON --&gt; &amp;#32; submitted by &amp;#32; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/user/jcorreiaCL&quot;&gt; /u/jcorreiaCL &lt;/a&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/AlmaLinux/comments/kzseiv/almalinux_faq_and_useful_information/&quot;&gt;[link]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &amp;#32; &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/AlmaLinux/comments/kzseiv/almalinux_faq_and_useful_information/&quot;&gt;[comments]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</content><id>t3_kzseiv</id><link href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AlmaLinux/comments/kzseiv/almalinux_faq_and_useful_information/" /><updated>2021-01-18T10:49:16+00:00</updated><published>2021-01-18T10:49:16+00:00</published><title>AlmaLinux FAQ and useful information</title></entry><entry><author><name>/u/jonspw</name><uri>https://www.reddit.com/user/jonspw</uri></author><category term="AlmaLinux" label="r/AlmaLinux"/><content type="html">&lt;!-- SC_OFF --&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;md&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Howdy folks!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I’m happy to announce that the AlmaLinux mailing lists are now online and operational!

I need to build a version of GCC that has the build_isl flag enabled and, according to line 87 of the SPEC file, any OS version greater than 8 has it disabled. Simple enough, I&amp;#39;ll just grab the SRPM, tweak the SPEC, and rebuild it... right?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Not so fast. There were a couple of problems. First, the build failed because it could not find /usr/lib/libc.so. No problem, I&amp;#39;ll just copy libc.so.6 to &lt;a href=&quot;https://libc.so&quot;&gt;libc.so&lt;/a&gt;. Even after doing so, and ensuring the permissions were correct (and SELinux disabled), it still could not locate the file. So I removed the line in the SPEC file with the dependency.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The second problem is related to annobin. The build fails with the generic error &amp;quot;cannot compute suffix of object files: cannot compile&amp;quot;. Tracing this back to the actual error, it&amp;#39;s missing the &lt;a href=&quot;https://annobin.so&quot;&gt;annobin.so&lt;/a&gt; file: &amp;quot;&lt;em&gt;cc1: fatal error: inaccessible plugin file plugin/annobin.so expanded from short plugin name annobin: No such file or directory&lt;/em&gt;&amp;quot; Ok, so I made sure that the annobin packages were installed. I also downloaded the SRPM for annobin and put its source code in the proper place under rpmbuild (as the gcc build looks for it there). Still no dice, same error. So I removed all references of annobin in the main gcc spec file... or so I thought. Another attempt at building ended at the same place.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Has anyone experienced this error?

I’ve only been using Linux for almost a year now so go easy on me haha&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The reason I’m even using AlmaLinux is because I have an old laptop I’m gonna have stored away for a long time but I still want it to be usable (as a Workstation with GNOME) when I take it out every once and a while and not have to update a ton of packages. I use Arch Linux on all my other computers and refuse to use anything else because I’ve tried it all and I just don’t like most other distros, except anything Red Hat based. I wanted something more stable than Fedora so here I am.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Anyway I realised this doesn’t come with a lot of codecs to play some videos or audio. Can someone please educate me on what exact packages I need and why, and how to get them safely? I don’t like copying and pasting things from the internet, I wanna learn and understand why I need the packages that I need and make sure I’m not adding anything extra. Furthermore, I like staying as “official” as possible (no third parties) when it comes to packages and repos in general. I KNOW I’m probably gonna have to use RPM Fusion but I’m uneasy about doing this because it seems you’re downloading the repos as a file and not verifying it, which seems very unsafe. Is there a way to verify the integrity when adding the RPM Fusion repos? Note that I don’t wanna use flatpak and install VLC because I have to go and hunt for a skin as well for it to follow dark theme, also apparently just installing VLC doesn’t solve some codecs issues within Firefox.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;If anyone here with experience knows I’m probably gonna need more packages for basic stuff please let me know. I don’t know what I don’t know and I wanna keep this minimal but usable.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Many thanks guys :)&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- SC_ON --&gt; &amp;#32; submitted by &amp;#32; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/user/Waltz2211&quot;&gt; /u/Waltz2211 &lt;/a&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/AlmaLinux/comments/z2qjwk/help_installing_codecs_and_other_necessary/&quot;&gt;[link]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &amp;#32; &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/AlmaLinux/comments/z2qjwk/help_installing_codecs_and_other_necessary/&quot;&gt;[comments]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</content><id>t3_z2qjwk</id><link href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AlmaLinux/comments/z2qjwk/help_installing_codecs_and_other_necessary/" /><updated>2022-11-23T14:29:12+00:00</updated><published>2022-11-23T14:29:12+00:00</published><title>Help installing codecs and other necessary packages to make AlmaLinux fully usable</title></entry><entry><author><name>/u/djcjf</name><uri>https://www.reddit.com/user/djcjf</uri></author><category term="AlmaLinux" label="r/AlmaLinux"/><content type="html">&lt;!-- SC_OFF --&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;md&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;How should I go around fixing this, it&amp;#39;s a fresh install so not quite sure what&amp;#39;s missing?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;[Errno 13] Permission denied: &amp;#39;/bin/rpmkeys&amp;#39; when attempting to install a package as root via dnf command on AlmaLinux Server 9&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I chose Server with no extra packages and setup an enhanced security policy. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;any help is greatly appreciated.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- SC_ON --&gt; &amp;#32; submitted by &amp;#32; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/user/djcjf&quot;&gt; /u/djcjf &lt;/a&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/AlmaLinux/comments/z1p2xc/errno_13_permission_denied_binrpmkeys_when/&quot;&gt;[link]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &amp;#32; &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/AlmaLinux/comments/z1p2xc/errno_13_permission_denied_binrpmkeys_when/&quot;&gt;[comments]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</content><id>t3_z1p2xc</id><link href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AlmaLinux/comments/z1p2xc/errno_13_permission_denied_binrpmkeys_when/" /><updated>2022-11-22T09:14:48+00:00</updated><published>2022-11-22T09:14:48+00:00</published><title>[Errno 13] Permission denied: '/bin/rpmkeys' when attempting to install a package as root via dnf command on AlmaLinux Server 9</title></entry><entry><author><name>/u/apathyzeal</name><uri>https://www.reddit.com/user/apathyzeal</uri></author><category term="AlmaLinux" label="r/AlmaLinux"/><content type="html">&lt;table&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/AlmaLinux/comments/z133u1/i_drew_an_ostan_for_almalinux/&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;https://preview.redd.it/e2sogmcqyb1a1.png?width=640&amp;amp;crop=smart&amp;amp;auto=webp&amp;amp;s=429079317dbd1b7e55cb781bd6769d0e46a18b6e&quot; alt=&quot;I drew an OS-tan for AlmaLinux.&quot; title=&quot;I drew an OS-tan for AlmaLinux.&quot; /&gt; &lt;/a&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt; &amp;#32; submitted by &amp;#32; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/user/apathyzeal&quot;&gt; /u/apathyzeal &lt;/a&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.redd.it/e2sogmcqyb1a1.png&quot;&gt;[link]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &amp;#32; &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/AlmaLinux/comments/z133u1/i_drew_an_ostan_for_almalinux/&quot;&gt;[comments]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;</content><id>t3_z133u1</id><media:thumbnail url="https://preview.redd.it/e2sogmcqyb1a1.png?width=640&amp;crop=smart&amp;auto=webp&amp;s=429079317dbd1b7e55cb781bd6769d0e46a18b6e" /><link href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AlmaLinux/comments/z133u1/i_drew_an_ostan_for_almalinux/" /><updated>2022-11-21T16:24:50+00:00</updated><published>2022-11-21T16:24:50+00:00</published><title>I drew an OS-tan for AlmaLinux.</title></entry></feed>
