AlmaLinux is an upcoming Linux distribution currently in public Beta, released on 2021-02-01. It aims to be a 1:1 compatible clone of Red Hat Enterprise Linux filling the gap of the CentOS Linux, which has been EoL'ed as downstream product.

Right now as of Facter 3.14.15, AlmaLinux is correctly detected as member of the Red Hat-family ("os.family" resolves to "RedHat") but the os.name fact on AlmaLinux incorrectly resolves to "RedHat" instead of "AlmaLinux":

$ facter os

  architecture => "x86_64",

  distro => {

    codename => "PurpleManul",

    description => "AlmaLinux release 8.3 Beta (Purple Manul)",

    id => "AlmaLinux",

    release => {

      full => "8.3",

      major => "8",

      minor => "3"

},

    specification => ":core-4.1-amd64:core-4.1-noarch"

},

  family => "RedHat",

  hardware => "x86_64",

  name => "RedHat",

  release => {

    full => "8.3",

    major => "8",

    minor => "3"

},

  selinux => {

    enabled => false

As AlmaLinux 8.3 Beta just being out for a few days with the final release being expected later in 2021 Q1, the effect of this change should be little and not introduce any backward-incompatible changes (AlmaLinux 8.3 will be the first release of AlmaLinux, there are no predecessors).
