I only now learned that the Japanese IT company Cybertrust helped AlmaLinux launch an operating system anthropomorphism mascot named Alma-chan (あるまちゃん), with images licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0. <figure> <img class="my-0 rounded-md" loading="lazy" decoding="async" fetchpriority="low" alt="" src="https://ivonblog.com/en-us/posts/almalinux-alma-chan/images/d1b47d57-47b7-4f90-894e-3eb6ec4bdf26.webp" onerror="this.onerror=null;this.src='https://ivonblog.com/images/cannotloadimage.avif'" width="600" height="750"></figure></p> <p>Coincidentally, Japan recently has a new robot anime called <em>アルマちゃんはかぞくになりたい</em>. Do not confuse it with this one, haha, although forming a family with a robot little sister would also be nice. <figure> <img class="my-0 rounded-md" loading="lazy" decoding="async" fetchpriority="low" alt="" src="https://ivonblog.com/en-us/posts/almalinux-alma-chan/images/pv_m.webp" onerror="this.onerror=null;this.src='https://ivonblog.com/images/cannotloadimage.avif'" width="600" height="338"></figure></p> <p>According to the setting provided by the official website <a href="https://www.miraclelinux.com/tech-blog/alma-chan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">サイバートラスト AlmaLinux 広報キャラクター「あるまちゃん」</a>: she came from the planet Alma by UFO in order to search for her younger sister from a previous life, but because of a system failure, she cannot return home. She is trying to use the highly reliable AlmaLinux system to repair the UFO. Miracle-chan (みらくるちゃん) is her younger sister from a previous life!</p> <p>The Miracle-chan mentioned here refers to Miracle Linux, an RHEL-derived distribution maintained by Japan&rsquo;s Cybertrust with a 22-year history. <figure> <img class="my-0 rounded-md" loading="lazy" decoding="async" fetchpriority="low" alt="" src="https://ivonblog.com/en-us/posts/almalinux-alma-chan/images/fd04b232-3ef7-4c0f-b7f2-e479623a609c.webp" onerror="this.onerror=null;this.src='https://ivonblog.com/images/cannotloadimage.avif'" width="400" height="400"></figure></p> <p>Then what is Rocky Linux? The villainess role? No&hellip; the final BOSS should be the evil RHEL, while CentOS is the already distant utopia.</p> <p>Based on Alma-chan&rsquo;s setting, Cybertrust officially launched the manga <em>あるまちゃんの冒険</em>. These updates can be followed on the Twitter account <a href="https://x.com/miraclelinux" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">みらくるちゃん &amp; あるまちゃん【MIRACLE LINUX ＆ AlmaLinux】</a>.</p> <p>The official website <a href="https://www.miraclelinux.com/miracle110/miracle-chan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">みらくるちゃん&amp;カーネルくん</a> provides beautiful wallpapers and cute manga. This penguin named &ldquo;Kernel-kun&rdquo; is the common language of all Linux distributions~ <figure> <img class="my-0 rounded-md" loading="lazy" decoding="async" fetchpriority="low" alt="" src="https://ivonblog.com/en-us/posts/almalinux-alma-chan/images/miraclechanwallpaper_202206_1980x1080.webp" onerror="this.onerror=null;this.src='https://ivonblog.com/images/cannotloadimage.avif'" width="1980" height="1080"></figure></p> <p>Some free software concepts are mentioned here, including Open Source Program Office. Companies establish dedicated offices to promote free software, which can be said to be a common standard practice around the world. It is clear they are quite good at promoting free software! <img src="images/ospo_03-com.webp" width=300></p>
