The Hat adds tool to facilitate migration from various free RHEL-a-like distros
Title seems to suggest that Alma Linux is somehow not free software, which is not justified at all by the article. Unless they are trying to say RHEL is free of charge? Which is also not true or mentioned in the text.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The latest version of Red Hat's flagship distro appeared last week, closely followed by Alma Linux 9.3.
Each successive point release contains the same versions of all its significant components, notably the kernel and so on, thus maximizing compatibility.
However, optional newer versions of some subcomponents may be on offer, such as programming languages, which shouldn't break existing deployments.
So for instance, RHEL has a set of system roles, defined in Ansible, and now the Podman role includes Quadlet, a formerly separate tool from Flatpak creator Alexand Larsson for improving systemd's container handling, as described in a Red Hat blog post early this year.
Hardware support on Arm64 has improved, and the OSes can now drive Bluetooth, wifi adaptors, and USB-attached webcams, among other features.
The dnf command can automatically reboot or shutdown the machine if required, and it can display "leaves", orphaned packages upon which nothing depends.
