I'm not sure what you mean - I'm running commercial software which requires 
vbc/mono.  So I can't migrate it..I must use what they offer

Or do you mean I can install something other than Mono and run that software on 
Linux?

I'm presuming the mono packages you installed came from EPEL, and not AlmaLinux?

Looks like Mono has had its day; the availability of .NET 6 and up seems to 
have mostly killed it:

If you absolutely positively must use Mono (and must have vbc.exe rather than 
the deprecated vbnc.exe) looks like you'll need to build it yourself.

Are you able to migrate your Mono project to .NET? It's available directly in 
AlmaLinux appstream (additional packages in the powertools repo).
