Do you have an idea about AlmaLinux? I Hope cPanel is supporting that too. What about your Litespeed and other things with AlmaLinux?
There is no problem with Almalinux, we use it on many of our servers. In Almalinux, php versions below php 7.2 are not supported, for lower php versions it needs cloudlinux and php selector.
Since we have customers using php 5.6, 7.0 and 7.1, we still prefer centos 7 mainly, there is no problem for now as centos 7 support lasts until 2024. In 2024, we will pressure our customers to update their software to versions 7.2 and higher.
