Facter 3.x (part of Puppet 6.x): up to now, AlmaLinux is incorrectly detected as RedHat operating system (fact os.name). I also submitted a patch here which got merged. But so far there hasn't been a new release of Facter 3.x yet. So anybody not building Facter from source has to wait for Facter 3.15.17. Facter 4 (part of Puppet 7.x) seems to work correctly and it wasn't affected by this issue, as it is a complete rewrite with a different resolver logic.
libosinfo (used by libvirt/KVM for example): a fix has been added by Andrew Lukoshko, see https://gitlab.com/libosinfo/osinfo-db/-/merge_requests/285 which basically boils down the the file /usr/share/osinfo/os/almalinux.org/almalinux-8.xml provided by the RPM osinfo-db (of AlmaLinux 8.3). If this meta information is missing in your KVM hypervisor (for example if you install an AlamLinux VM on a CentOS hypervisor just now) and you did not specify --os-variant rhel8.3 for example when using virt-install when installing an AlmaLinux VM, you might miss certain optimization because only very generic virtualization settings get applied in case of an undetected operating system.
