Efficient deployments have become predictable and reduced downtime for critical workloads
The best features AlmaLinux 8 (Alma Linux 8) | Support by SupportedImages offers me include its stability, RHEL compatibility, long-term security support, security tools, convenient package management, and community-driven development. For me, the most valuable aspect of AlmaLinux 8 (Alma Linux 8) | Support by SupportedImages is stability when working with data pipelines, Python environments, and automated workloads because I want the operating system to stay reliable and predictable. This allows me to focus on development and analysis rather than spending time fixing environment issues. Regarding AlmaLinux 8 (Alma Linux 8) | Support by SupportedImages AI capabilities, I see governance and security as two of its strengths. From a governance perspective, I value its transparency. AlmaLinux 8 (Alma Linux 8) | Support by SupportedImages project is managed by a nonprofit foundation with a community-elected board and publicly available meeting minutes. That gives organizations visibility into how decisions are made and helps limit dependence on a single vendor.

Regarding how RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers could be improved, I believe there are some points that could be enhanced, such as reducing the complexity and cost of licensing. The subscription model and socket counting can be complex and have a high cost for expanding smaller development environments. The learning curve could also be simplified: although security is impeccable, solving SELinux troubleshooting issues in advanced scenarios requires a considerable amount of diagnostic time for those who are just starting out. Documentation and the unified migration interface could be improved as well. The process of transitioning between major versions, such as from RedHat 8 to 9, has evolved a lot with Leapp, but it could still have tools such as simpler visual wizards and less dependency on manual scripts and customized scenarios. For me, the main improvement points in RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers are mainly the cost of the subscription model, which can be high when scaling new environments, and the complexity of configuring SELinux, which requires more time for the team to analyze errors when advanced blocks occur. I believe that RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers, to be a 10, would need to address what I mentioned in the previous answer. That would be broader documentation in the sense of providing tools with more visual and simple assistance, with less dependence on scripts, and reducing cost complexity. Some subscription and socket counting models can have a high cost for expansions of smaller development environments. I believe I have mentioned all the improvement suggestions I think are viable.

Cons

"I'm not certain if there's something that can be improved in AlmaLinux 8 (Alma Linux 8) | Support by SupportedImages, but in terms of vulnerabilities, it constantly is being hit with vulnerabilities."
"I rate AlmaLinux 8 (Alma Linux 8) | Support by SupportedImages an eight out of 10 due to poor documentation, which results in more time needed for server configuration implementation and makes the documentation hard to understand, even though everything else is very good."

"I believe RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers could be improved mainly in ease of management."
"I believe that one of the main points for improving the environment with RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers is increased access and training, as even though there is well-structured documentation on RedHat’s website, access for new professionals to Linux platforms and all the products RedHat provides remains very restricted, limiting it to people with extensive experience with Linux systems and RedHat itself."
"A negative point, often, when speaking of Brazil, is that the support seems a bit distant from our reality."
"The only challenge that we have with RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers is migrations."
