summary
AlmaLinux claims near-complete RHEL compatibility by using CentOS Stream as upstream and pulling patches where allowed, with less than 1% of code differs mostly in the kernel. Adoption is rapid — mirror telemetry shows 200,000 servers added since July (hundreds of thousands calling home overall). The project builds a Synergy repo and testing repo, ships security and kernel fixes days to a week ahead of Red Hat, and enables in-place upgrades — Project Elevate: 50,000-server upgrade works in production.
