Hi,

as in the title, what Linux distro is powering your production server (I mean at work) and why? Do you use/need distro support?

Actually I'm using a mix of Debian 12 and AlmaLinux 9.5.

I use Debian12 on my backup server for ZFS, on monitoring server and internal NAS. I tried ZFS on Alma but the last major update broke ZFS dkms compilation.

I use AlmaLinux 9.5 for several web server faced on internet with SELinux mainly due to long LTS support and AppStream modules.

A testing server with Proxmox for VMs staging and testing.

Now planning a remote server for remote encrypted backup.

What about your choice?

Thank you in advance.
