AlmaLinux OS was created around the time of “that big CentOS” announcement, and has been a worthy solution for enterprises that wish to continue with Enterprise Linux, but without the fear of the distribution being changed into something else entirely. As a drop-in replacement for Red Hat, AlmaLinux OS continues to tackle new ground and builds a strong community. In this video, Jay and Joao are joined by Atalay Kelestemur who works on the project to discuss this distribution – and there may even be some surprises in store.

Although no actual passwords within vaults were cracked, recent events do raise a red flag. In this episode, Jay and Joao discuss whether or not you should trust password managers.
