AlmaLinux To Focus On Increased Testing & Other Goals For 2026

Written by Michael Larabel in Operating Systems on 11 March 2026 at 06:10 AM EDT. Add A Comment
Developers behind AlmaLinux as this popular community alternative to Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) have drafted some new goals for 2026.

AlmaLinux stakeholders met last month face-to-face in working through different challenges and establishing objectives for the calendar year.

Among their goals for 2026 are increasing transparency, greater diversity in active contributors, increased testing, more engagement from sponsors, embracing efficiency, building relationships with other open-source projects, and expanding the language support of AlmaLinux documentation.

There are also different goals from AlmaLinux's numerous Special Interest Groups (SIG). AlmaLinux Atomic SIG wants to better understand how its users are leveraging the atomic images, the Certification SIG is looking to improve its processes, the Media & Entertainment SIG hopes to release an AlmaLinux 10 build using the KDE Plasma desktop, and the marketing SIG is hoping to better survey users.
