NVIDIA Extends CUDA Support to RHEL-compatible Distributions

With the release of CUDA 13.2, NVIDIA has officially included distributions derived from or compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), such as AlmaLinux, among the supported platforms. This is a significant step forward for developers and system administrators using these distributions.

Simplified Distribution of NVIDIA Packages

The most important aspect of this announcement is the ability to distribute NVIDIA packages directly from the operating system repositories. This means that users of AlmaLinux and other RHEL-compatible distributions will be able to install and update CUDA drivers and libraries in a simpler and more integrated way, taking advantage of the operating system's native package management mechanisms. This integration greatly simplifies the installation and maintenance process, reducing complexity for users.
