r/AlmaLinux

Trying to transition to using Alma as a desktop; I have had major issues with ubuntu LTS ever since version 20, it's a lost cause at this point. I was wondering if there is any GUI for running virtual machines; GNOME Boxes isn't in the official repos as far as I can tell, and the flatpak version is short of USB redirection. Anybody know anything that is Alma-compatible preferably staying within the official repos? Thanks!

we have a large mixed environment of over 300 Linux servers ranging from Debian, Ubuntu, SLES and SuSE, Oracle Linux, and RHEL and old stuff of those distribution …and the biggest issue we have is locked in to subscription packages so no sub no patches… looking for some advice or heads up on using Alma as a enterprise platform to replace all our aging badly patched fleet ?

Hi

Looking for advice to help get a PCIe card recognised on Alma linux 10.

I'm running Alama linux 10 on a Lenovo M920x Desktop, I've installed a QNAP PCIe card that provides 10GBe and 2x M.2 SATA SSD's. 10Gbe driver is working fine in linux but the SATA M.2 drives are not showing up in Linux though the SATA controller is recognised.

The drives are not showing up in the BIOS as boot options either, so it could be an issue there?

Thanks for your help.
