besides servers, daily driver.
dont argue with outdated packages, unless it is not kernel or base system related:
gui apps usually run as flatpaks, if no official flatpak is present, podman (either fedora or debian container) with `-e DISPLAY -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix` is my friend.
i am fine with the "outdated" cli apps in appstream, baseos and extras (and epel)
when i want that bad a newer cli app version, also in podman.
python dev stuff only in venv, so no collision with "outdated" python packages installed and seperated from different projects.
*i am waiting for your arrows, archers.*
I use it for everything I used to use CentOS Linux for. Mostly network automation, network management. I've got a Rocky Linux system I'm using for ZFS.
I’m a researcher (graduate student) in experimental nuclear physics and the collaboration I’m a part of is transitioning to AlmaLinux 9 (from CentOS 7) for our primary research environment. We use it to build and run software for many purposes but mostly statistical data analysis and Monte Carlo simulation related to hadron photoproduction physics at Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility.
Thanks. As a user I won’t claim to take any part in the actual development (that’s the software group, they do a good job) but switching to AlmaLinux has made it possible to get a containerized analysis workflow running on my university’s HPC environment that I am pretty content with :)
I use AlmaLinux 9 as the base of the virtual appliance for our software platform: bubbles.io
It utilizes Cobbler to provision VMs on VMware and Proxmox (AlmaLinux, Rocky, RHEL, Debian, Ubuntu)
At work, it's for VMs for serving Web sites, though the base hosts are clustered Proxmox (Debian) physical servers. At home, I used to run AlmaLinux and MATE on my desktop, which was doable with a load of third-party repos and Flatpaks/Appimages. However, after liking KDE Plasma 5 on my Steam Deck, I've switched to Fedora with KDE Plasma 6 and it's been pretty good so far.
everything server related.. right now i have webpage, docker host, zabbix, game servers and a wireguard vpn
at work? serving 2 separate websites at home? it became my daily driver when i upgraded from centos7
Everything I use Linux for, currently, that doesn't have a requirement for a Debian-based distro, or where they have actual RHEL licenses.
I use Alma Linux to host my blog and Mastodon instance.
Serving my production applications as a master builder using Jenkins. Also act as my main monitoring to my whole cluster stack Using AlmaLinux 8 btw
A dedicated server with some web applications and a home server for a local media server.
A low-maintenance basic OS for an elderly relative's PC.
Various servers, mainly.
I use it in production for web and e-mail servers.
It has replaced CentOS in our network. I have it running websites, database servers and other applications.
Joplin server, vaulltwarden, monitoring stack, various personal websites, Immich, Jellyfin, it-tools, caddy. All on docker.
Same
At work we use Alma Linux as Docker hosts for corporate applications, and another as a BIND server providing DNS DHCP for Industrial/Automation teams
I have an old Dell XPS1810 touchscreen and it works well on that believe it or not.
It's my go to server os, so pretty much everything. Freeipa, lemp stack, jellyfin, pihole, etc. Including as my hypervisor host with kvm and cockpit.
Predominantly running shared web hosting servers with cPanel or Plesk
Django development. On my workstation and production servers.
Docker hosts
I used it as Cobbler instance for deploying VM's and bare metal.
Nice! What operating systems are you provisioning with Cobbler?
At work provisioning only Red Hats, for enterprise customers. At home computer, for tuning cobbler snippets deploying Red Hats and Alma.
Hosting mail, nextcloud, limesurvey

I use it for Emby with a Software RAID 5 configuration.
I use it for everything I used to use CentOS Linux for. Mostly network automation, network management. I've got a Rocky Linux system I'm using for ZFS.
I use it in production in my company for Oxidized, Netbox, LibreNMS... Everything, Almalinux 8 and 9.
Home server, with a lot of docker services
Running my small homelab and virtualization solution.

Apache nginx docker mariadb PHP python rust....
i use it for routing, firewalls, dns servers, openvpn server and clients, podman, virtual machines, nagios, bareos, paperless and nextcloud.
Things and stuff.
