Most businesses IT departments I have worked for mandate a Linux distribution with a big support contract to deploy anything. The Windows System Admins think it will block adoption.

The businesses quickly realised that CentOS worked as a RHEL stand in and all developers can use that.

The logic of CentOS was it was identical to production and so minimised deployment issues but everything deploys in docker now.

As long as I have a Linux based docker host (cause the windows one has weirdness), I don't care what that host is, or how it is configured.

This now reflects in developer environment, I will write guides for Debian (because Snaps), devs can run whatever they want. I specify Ubuntu LTS for production since you can get a support contract for it.
