This is not about installing Almalinux 9.4, but about what to do right after you install Almalinux, because it’s one of the easiest oses to install already I thought to not bother. You need to erase everything off a partition by highlighting it, and using the minus sign in the bottom left corner to delete it then click delete all that are alike. Make a root password and a user password, and set your computer for Workstation, select all the options for Workstation, and after you make a 16gb swap partition, a 30% of your drive root partition, 25% or 30% then the rest in a \/home\/your-username partition so mine would be \/home\/madness. without the dot<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But before I said all that, I should have said that Almalinux uses the GNOME3 desktop environment, or “D.E.” for short. The GNOME3 instance can kinda be turned back into a gnome2 installation using the following commands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JavaScript<\/span><\/span><\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/span>
sudo<\/span> <\/span>dnf<\/span> <\/span>install<\/span> <\/span>git<\/span> <\/span>cmake<\/span> <\/span>python3<\/span> <\/span>python3<\/span>-<\/span>pip<\/span> <\/span>gcc<\/span> <\/span>gcc<\/span>-<\/span>c<\/span>++<\/span> <\/span>make<\/span> <\/span>bison<\/span> <\/span>flex<\/span> <\/span>gmp<\/span>-<\/span>devel<\/span> <\/span>libmpc<\/span>-<\/span>devel<\/span> <\/span>mpfr<\/span>-<\/span>devel<\/span> <\/span>texinfo<\/span> <\/span>isl<\/span>-<\/span>devel<\/span><\/span><\/code><\/pre>JavaScript<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n
this will net you the necessities on Almalinux to build a gcc toolchain. Specifically I am building #15, right before it comes out as the official new set of the software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before I did that, I should have told you to enable the epel release repo, and a few other things before we get into compiling gcc…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
JavaScript<\/span><\/span><\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/span>
sudo<\/span> <\/span>dnf<\/span> <\/span>install<\/span> <\/span>epel<\/span>-<\/span>release<\/span><\/span><\/code><\/pre>JavaScript<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n
JavaScript<\/span><\/span><\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/span>
sudo<\/span> <\/span>dnf<\/span> <\/span>conf<\/span>-<\/span>manager<\/span> <\/span>--<\/span>set<\/span>-<\/span>enabled<\/span> <\/span>crb<\/span><\/span><\/code><\/pre>JavaScript<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n
The first line (above this one) is a command to enable a repository. A repository or repo is just a link to a place that has programs. A “repository” of “programs”, many times they are operating system software. You must run these lines in order, 1st then 2nd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 2nd line is for developers, packages for developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
JavaScript<\/span><\/span><\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/span>
sudo<\/span> <\/span>dnf<\/span> <\/span>install<\/span> <\/span>elrepo<\/span>-<\/span>release<\/span><\/span><\/code><\/pre>JavaScript<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n
The next step to take is RPM Fusion because, your system can’t play videos right now I don’t think, at least mine can’t, without RPM Fusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
JavaScript<\/span><\/span><\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/span>
https:<\/span>\/\/rpmfusion.org\/Configuration<\/span><\/span><\/code><\/pre>JavaScript<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Or you could just go to the following two links, and download for almalinux 9:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
JavaScript<\/span><\/span><\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/span>
https:<\/span>\/\/mirrors.rpmfusion.org\/free\/el\/rpmfusion-free-release-9.noarch.rpm<\/span><\/span>\nhttps:<\/span>\/\/mirrors.rpmfusion.org\/nonfree\/el\/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-9.noarch.rpm<\/span><\/span><\/code><\/pre>JavaScript<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Now download the software from the newly installed rpm fusion repos;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
JavaScript<\/span><\/span><\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/span>
sudo<\/span> <\/span>dnf<\/span> <\/span>swap<\/span> <\/span>ffmpeg<\/span>-<\/span>free<\/span> <\/span>ffmpeg<\/span> <\/span>--<\/span>allowerasing<\/span><\/span><\/code><\/pre>JavaScript<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n
JavaScript<\/span><\/span><\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/span>
sudo<\/span> <\/span>dnf<\/span> <\/span>update<\/span> @<\/span>multimedia<\/span> <\/span>--<\/span>setopt<\/span>=<\/span>"install_weak_deps=False"<\/span> <\/span>--<\/span>exclude<\/span>=<\/span>PackageKit<\/span>-<\/span>gstreamer<\/span>-<\/span>plugin<\/span><\/span><\/code><\/pre>JavaScript<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n
type in the next command to download gnome-tweaks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
JavaScript<\/span><\/span><\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/span>
sudo<\/span> <\/span>dnf<\/span> <\/span>install<\/span> <\/span>gnome<\/span>-<\/span>tweaks<\/span><\/span><\/code><\/pre>JavaScript<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n
