I installed the beta when it came out on a VM running under C7. I upgrade every day or two and Alma upgrades have so far been seamless. It's transited from beta to RC and now to stable.
I installed the RC on a USB stick to allow me to run as bare metal on a laptop (which unfortunately has to remain as Win10). It ran fine until the upgrade to stable, but then corrupted the image during the upgrade. I reinstalled and it seems to be running fine.
No one has said it, but everyone that's tried it - what's it at? I'm on CentOS 7. Do I have to go to 8 for Alma? Is there a 7? Is the conversion script someone mentioned for same release, or upgrade, or...?
They will not be doing a 7. Just 8.
That said ... it's probably a great idea to take this conversation over to *their* mailing lists. There's an extent to which this conversation is relevant to this list - after all, we're all part of the same extended family now - but once it starts becoming a technical discussion of Alma itself, it's veering off-topic, and you'll get better answers over there.

mark, CentOS 7 will be fully supported till EOL, so why waste time on AL7?
I would not convert CL7 to any 8 but if that is only reason you are asking about AL7 then your best bet is to convert CL7 to last CL8 (not CS8) and then convert CL8 to AL8.
