Hello everyone! I am testing Almalinux 8.7 with cpanel and I noticed that the operating system comes with many drivers that use a lot of space, like directories for nvidia, intel, etc. Is it normal that Almalinux comes by default with drivers that will not be used in WHM/cpanel?

  When you installed was "Base Environment" did you choose? You'd prob. want Server or Minimal Install.

  This is how I applied it, minimal installation. I installed it on Azure.

  I can't say for sure what the provider may include, but it seems even minimal installations may include things that aren't needed by cPanel, such as SELinux.

  So I see, I'll try to install the minimal version again, maybe I missed that detail. But it's almost 11 GB of drivers that you won't use.

  Where are those drivers located?
