Please reconsider recommending Rocky. If you dive in a bit you'd probably find their attitude towards the community and community participation really weird. They seem to have pushed most of their resources towards better marketing instead of making a better distribution. Here's an example: about a half year ago the host of linuxunplugged.com (a pretty popular podcast IMO) invited representatives both from Alma Linux and from Rocky Linux. The Alma guy was happy to be on the show and showed up a few hours before it started to chat with community members. The Rocky guy asked if any other distributions will be there, and then sent a passive-aggressive email where he declined to participate because "we're not interested in being compared against other distributions", or something to that extent. This small example pretty much sums up their entire attitude. FWIW, I've been using https://almalinux.org https://almalinux.org for the past few months on a couple of dozen servers and it's been smooth sailing. (I've also been using Oracle Linux and it too worked fine. If only it were not Oracle…)
