Today, the AlmaLinux OS Foundation announced the general availability of AlmaLinux OS 10.1, codenamed "Heliotrope Lion," marking the first point release in the AlmaLinux OS 10 series. This version introduces several significant enhancements, particularly the support for the Btrfs file system, which is integrated at both kernel and userspace levels. This means users can now install AlmaLinux OS directly on a Btrfs filesystem right from the start.
In addition to Btrfs support, AlmaLinux 10.1 also enables the CRB repository by default for new installations and extends support for x86_64_v2 processors. Other features of this release include SPICE support, default frame pointers, and a host of performance and security improvements. The development toolchain has been updated to include GCC 15.1, LLVM 20.1.8, Rust 1.88.0, and more.
Notable updated components include NetworkManager 1.54, QEMU 10, Python 3.12.11, and OpenSSL 3.5. For further details, users can refer to the release notes for additional information and highlights.
AlmaLinux OS 10.1 is available for download from the official AlmaLinux website in various formats, including installation ISO images compatible with x86_64 and other architectures like AArch64 and PowerPC. Users looking to upgrade from previous installations can do so easily by running the sudo dnf update command in their terminal.
For more information and specific updates, the release can be tracked via AlmaLinux Blog.
