    Let's do some Linux server desktop distro cross-pollination. Here's a review of AlmaLinux 8.4, tested in a triple-boot configuration on a laptop with AMD processor, Vega graphics and NVMe storage, covering installation and post-install usage, including Wireless connecitivity issues, look & feel, customization, display and font scaling, extra software, overall hardware compatibility, stability, performance and responsiveness, resource utilization, battery life, and more. Have fun.

    This was brought to market quickly with the backing of a Linux server company. It could never have been done on a volunteer effort. With CentOS approaching EOL this year, there are now viable free drop in replacements for it: Alma, Rocky and Oracle.
