since my feedback was appreciated, I report running the script again (with a timer) on two more fussy and larger servers:


# time /usr/sausalito/sbin/almalinux-deploy.sh | tee ~/almalinux-deploy_output.txt
  ⋮
  ⋮
  ⋮
Complete!
Run dnf distro-sync -y                                                OK
Restoring of alternatives is done                                     OK
Install AlmaLinux kernel                                              OK

All good after almost 7mins! (the larger server had 7m20) Michael's fixes were effective.

This time, ssh wasn't stalled, only the AV-SPAM Services...
Those were running correctly only after several off/on attempts in the GUI and with flushing MySQL (in Network Services > AV-SPAM > MySQL) or maybe I rushed too much
