AlmaLinux 10.1 Released - Complete With Btrfs Support
Building off the release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10.1 from two weeks ago, AlmaLinux 10.1 is now available in GA form for this community-oriented RHEL10 downstream. Making AlmaLinux 10.1 all the more interesting is the project's decision to promote Btrfs file-system support.
While Red Hat deprecated their Btrfs plans long ago (back in RHEL 6.8!) in favor of XFS+LVM, AlmaLinux developers recently decided to support Btrfs -- including optionally for root file-system use by their installer. Today's AlmaLinux 10.1 GA release incorporates that support.
As for other alterations with AlmaLinux 10.1, they have re-enabled SPICE support as well as re-enabled the use of frame pointers by default within their package builds. AlmaLinux continues with other existing modifications too over RHEL 10 like enabling x86_64-v2 CPU support, enabling additional device drivers, etc.
