Linux Server OSes? (programming.dev)

I've seen a lot of different enterprise and personal use distros for servers, but what do you guys use?

I'm planning on using Debian but was wondering if there are any other good free options to consider.

Debian and Rocky

[–] stewie410@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

We're primarily a CentOS (6/7, kill me) and Rocky 8+ shop at work, with Debian handling our webservers. ~~My Boss~~ We like Rocky so much, it's even our base image for all of our containers (ugh).

My experience so far is that RHEL (and derivatives) are pretty solid, and not a bad choice. Though, I'd generally want to avoid the complexity that is SELinux in selfhost endeavors.

I run Mint on everything just because I'm too lazy to learn anything else. For my very modest requirements, that works just fine.

I use Debian myself but I'm considering switching to NixOS.
