AlmaLinux 10.2 introduces updated compiler toolsets, new language and database packages, and improved security. This release adds Python 3.14, PostgreSQL 18, MariaDB 11.8, Ruby 4.0 and PHP 8.4 as new packages, alongside SDL3, libkrun, trustee and FIDO Device Onboard tooling. The desktop sees GNOME 49. Container and virtualization support is updated with the latest versions of Podman, Buildah, libvirt, QEMU-KVM and skopeo. Security is improved with updates to OpenSSL, OpenSSH, SSSD, SELinux policies, crypto-policies, and Keylime. AlmaLinux 10.2 also brings i686 userspace packages - enabling legacy 32-bit software, CI pipelines, and containerized workloads on AlmaLinux 10. We first landed i686 in Kitten 10 back in April; 10.2 is where it crosses into stable. 10.2 continues to ship AlmaLinux's deviations from upstream that we've written about before: Btrfs support including the ability to boot from a Btrfs volume, the CRB repository enabled by default, and a parallel x86_64_v2 build with matching EPEL coverage for older hardware.
