Linux Server OSes? (programming.dev)

I've seen a lot of different enterprise and personal use distros for servers, but what do you guys use?

I'm planning on using Debian but was wondering if there are any other good free options to consider.

Ubuntu LTS.

It has the option for PPAs when the distro doesn't offer packages or recent package updates but the upstream project does.

It's a well-established and stable distro.

Yeah - and it loads snap on a bare install. Great!

Jokes aside it’s a stable system - I found some signage players on 2016lts the other day, rock steady for 8 years
