Hi, mostly i use REHL based distros like Centos/Rocky/Oracle for the solutions i develop but it seems its time to leave..

What good server/minimal distro you use ?

Will start to test Debian stable.

Life long Debian (and Debian derivatives) user (23 years and counting). I have pretty much settled down into (this has been true for years):

  • Debian for servers.
  • Mint for workstations (that you want to just work and don't want to spend time troubleshooting / tinkering). Mint is linux your grandma can use (my Boomer real estate broker father has been running Mint laptops for the last 5 years).
  • Ubuntu for jr. Engineers who want to learn linux.
  • Qubes (with Debian VMs) for workstations that must be secure (I've been working recently with several organizations that are prime targets either the CCP or have DFARS / NIST compliance requirements).
