However, a graphics issue has been detected in the Raspberry Pi 5, particularly affecting the 16GB RAM model linked to the Pi 5 revision 1.1, also known as D0 stepping. The development team is actively investigating this issue to find a resolution.
Additional Insights and Future Directions
As the AlmaLinux community continues to develop and refine the operating system for Raspberry Pi, users are encouraged to engage through the SIG/AltArch channel on the AlmaLinux chat platform or contribute to discussions in the AlmaLinux Raspberry Pi repository. This collaborative effort aims to enhance user experience and address any emerging issues promptly.
The introduction of AlmaLinux OS Kitten 10 signifies a commitment to providing a robust, user-friendly operating system for Raspberry Pi enthusiasts. The exclusion of the MBR version reflects a strategic decision to focus on modern partitioning schemes, which could lead to better performance and compatibility with future hardware developments.
Looking ahead, the development team is expected to not only resolve the current graphics issues with the Raspberry Pi 5 but also continue to innovate in areas such as performance optimization, security enhancements, and community-driven features. Users are encouraged to stay informed and participate in the ongoing dialogue as the AlmaLinux ecosystem evolves, ensuring that it remains a leading choice for Raspberry Pi users
AlmaLinux OS Kitten 10 is now available for Raspberry Pi
The latest updates on Raspberry Pi include the availability of AlmaLinux OS Kitten 10, which offers both console and GNOME images, but excludes the MBR version for development. The Raspberry Pi 3+ will not receive support for AlmaLinux OS 10 or AlmaLinux OS Kitten 10. All Raspberry Pi images have been refreshed to include the most recent packages as of the end of March 2025. A new package, rpi-eeprom, has been released on AlmaLinux, enabling users to modify the boot order exclusively through AlmaLinux. A graphics issue has been identified on the Raspberry Pi 5, first noted on the 16GB RAM model, but associated with Pi 5 revision 1.1 (also referred to as D0 stepping). The development team is currently examining the issue and will persist in their efforts to find a resolution.
