This means:
1️⃣ AlmaLinux users can get support from NVIDIA for your hardware setup
2️⃣ We are now able to distribute NVIDIA’s packages directly from our repositories
No more version mismatches, no delays. https://almalinux.org/blog/2026-03-09-almalinux-and-nvidia-streamline-driver-and-cuda-updates/

Get excited: you no longer have to juggle Nvidia workarounds, because CUDA and GPU drivers are moving into the distro's normal package workflow! 👏
“For anyone that was already using our release of the open source Nvidia drivers on AlmaLinux, the changes will be completely transparent,” shared Jonathan Wright.
