Comment on Rocky Linux releases its first release candidateparent

Comments

If you're tied to software that is used on RHEL or release in sync with RHEL I'd say stick with CentOS-like distributions - but if you're not I'd say that moving to Ubuntu LTS doesn't seem that bad of an option.

If you need LTS would Debian not be a better choice for servers?

Debian and Ubuntu have the same LTS policies, but Ubuntu has the option of paid "extended LTS".

I won't comment on the experience of using Ubuntu vs. Debian on servers because I don't have any

The main advantage with Ubuntu is “everyone uses it” so there’s almost certainly a setup for it. Debian may have a bit more hoops to jump through.
