I saw notice today of a Alma Linux (CentOS alternative) release for 
raspberry pi today so I decided to give it a try on a pi4.  Looks like 
CentOS to me.

The weewx procedures for setup.py seems to work ok so far with a couple 
issues:

 - python3-cheetah requires installing epel-release to add the EPEL repos
 - I see some permission issues related to starting the daemon from 
systemctl

I didn't devote a lot of time to working the permissions issues above but 
might fiddle as I find time.  FWIW, it's not selinux (I set that to 
permissive for now just in case).

FWIW - sure seeeeeems quick to me interactively.

There are a few manual steps required to get wifi enabled and expand the 
root filesystem which RaspiOS makes much easier, but just follow the docs 
at https://github.com/AlmaLinux/raspberry-pi/ for how to do that.

One caveat - ssh in as root is enabled 'and' the os has a well known 
default root password, so you definitely want to harden your system as part 
of setting it up as your first step.

But that said, sure looks like CentOS to me for those who come from a 
RedHat background......
