I'm glad to hear that and so I could install Almalinux9 without installing version 8 first.
I wanted to say that I will install it when the official version is available. From what you said before, there is less time left.
It's urgent that cPanel+WHM support Almalinux 9 *asap*
Migrating hosting accounts between past-EOL versions is time consuming, costly, and occasionally risky.
AlmaLinux 8 only has active support until May '24 (just over a year from now), but (mercifully) security support until March '29.
Whereas AlmaLinux 9 has active support until May '27, and security support until May '32

I need to do a new installation of cPanel+WHM in the next few weeks. I'd massively prefer to install it on a v9 Linux, not v8.
