We have been using Alma Linux 8.x for about two years on 7 Agilent spectrometers
running Open Vnmrj. No problems so far.

Hi Rajan
these functions are supported by ALMA. This is not a back alley LINUX distro.
If you look at the alma site you will see that it is used by some major players.
I.e. AWS and Azure do run ALMA as well.

Hi Ken
You are right up to the point that the spectrometer host is just a dedicated
front end and doesn't do much else. But if the Linux box is networked into a
complex system with some more colorful features (as it happens in my case ) such
as a LDAP backend for user authentication and local cloud storage (within the
University or commercial cloud services such as AWS or Azure offered by the
University) for data storage and sharing, it becomes imperative that this Linux
system is treated like a server and patched and updated regularly.
If high availability and near-zero sysadmin maintenance is the goal, then one can
always deploy Topspin on a MS Windows 10/11 system, with the caveat that the
Windows machines themselves have some kind of enterprise level IT support from
the institution.

Why do I care if AlmaLinux is not 100% compatible with RHEL as long as Bruker
supports it and it will run my spectrometer? Generally, the only thing that
computer is doing is running the spectrometer, maybe Firefox an a file transfer
software?
