I’ve run Ubuntu servers for over a decade in some very large and demanding environments and have had so few issues with the OS itself.

Lemmy has a hate boner for Canonical, and Ubuntu, but the reality is this is an echo chamber. Ubuntu has been run in basically every corner of the globe for some of the most critical work human kind has, and it could be so easily swapped for Debian. But it isn't.

At my workplace 95% is running ubuntu. Those servers that doesn't, are running crappy Microsoft server, and those are just because the applications weren't yet running on linux, but everything does now, so I gues they will switch to ubuntu very shortly.

People shit on it but there's a lot of good open-source tooling that supports it.

There are nist l1 profiles

Tutorials and guides for everything

etc

Part of being a good sysadmin is knowing when not to reinvent the wheel. Ubuntu has a lot of options for vetted, hardened, "other people's wheels."

Also, for posterity, the competent ones are running the headless, server version of Ubuntu. (As opposed to the bloated mess that is Ubuntu Desktop). The server version catches a lot of flack it doesn't deserve.

It is the biggest os server wise in the world. Everything on aws runs ubuntu as well. Any SaaS is ubuntu. You cannot get around it datacenter or SaaS wise.
