Subject: [PATCH] bug fix: AlmaLinux 9 virtual environment creation TypeError

- Added specific handling for AlmaLinux/Rocky Linux 9 similar to Ubuntu 22
- First attempts python3 -m venv for virtual environment creation
- Falls back to virtualenv with proper Python path detection
- Fixes TypeError: expected string or bytes-like object during installation
