AlmaLinux 10.2 Beta is now live!

The release team of AlmaLinux, which is a free binary-compatible alternative to a commercial Linux distribution, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, has just released the beta version of the upcoming point release, which is AlmaLinux v10.2.

This beta version of AlmaLinux brings many improvements over the current version, which is version v10.1. The version is available for the following architectures listed:

Intel/AMD (x86_64)
Intel/AMD (x86_64_v2)
Intel/AMD 32-bit (i686) (userspace only, no installation)
ARM64 (aarch64)
IBM PowerPC (ppc64le)
IBM Z (s390x)

However, this beta version of AlmaLinux is not a production release, and is not guaranteed to be stable, especially when it comes to production installations. For users who rely on stability, you’ll have to wait until the official release. If you are curious about this beta version, and you intend to test and to report bugs and issues, you can download the beta version here.

AlmaLinux 10.2 brings i686 userspace packages to enable legacy 32-bit software, CI pipelines, and containerized workloads for users who rely on them in their workflow. It also presents you with updated toolsets and packages, such as the updated MariaDB 11.8, PHP 8.4, and Python 3.14. Security updates have also been provided, such as OpenSSL, Keylime, and SELinux policies, to enhance your computer’s security and to reduce attack vectors.

Also, a severe vulnerability that was left unnoticed since 2017, called Copy Fail (CVE-2026-31431) that exposed a flaw in authencesn, has been patched in this version of AlmaLinux, along with versions v10.x, v9.x, and v8.x.
