Intel/AMD (x86_64) ARM64 (aarch64) IBM PowerPC (ppc64le) IBM Z (s390x) How we build Matching release and software versions with Red Hat Enterprise Linux(RHEL), AlmaLinux builds from the same sources as RHEL, promises complete compatibility with RHEL, and does so from freely available open source code.
The current method is to set a boot parameter to opt out of non-free firmware, it’s documented in the installer manual.
It should be in the installer itself imo
I bet they considered the options. It could simply be that no one has had time to change the installer. It could also be that the people who care about free software to the degree that they want to avoid non-free firmware usually figure out how to do it, and that too many options confuse new users. I don’t know. A feature request discussion in the appropriate mailing list could be a good idea if you want change.
