This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/AlmaLinux

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • anaconda

    System installer for Fedora, RHEL and other distributions (by rhinstaller)

  • Rufus developer here. My guess is that Alma is based on Red Hat, and unfortunately, Red Hat introduced a regression in the Anaconda installer that typically leads to the issue you are facing.

  • Rufus

    The Reliable USB Formatting Utility

  • At this stage, the only workaround is to select DD mode in Rufus when prompted. And you can also let the distro maintainers who base their installer on Anaconda that they may want to get in touch with the Red Hat folks to let them know that, as much as they might want to believe that everybody should use DD mode, there do exist very valid reasons to want to create a bootable media in ISO mode (which Anaconda used to support just fine), and therefore, if Red Hat actually cares about its users, they may want to try to fix stuff that they broke.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
