The saga continues.

In the past I read Robert Love's Linux Kernel Development Book which is a highly esteemed and recommended book on the topic. However as time passes it become at least half obsolete. https://rlove.org/...

Red Hat made being a 1:1 clone hard. So AlmaLinux is pivoting and speeding up.

As with other Debian point releases, the updates will come automatically through the package manager.
