In the real world (HPC) I don't get to choose my distro. The software vendors do. Which, really throws a wrench into things.
Some of them have decided to go with Ubuntu LTS. A few are moving to CentOS stream. Some are stuck on the last version of CentOS and won't support stream. Rocky? Alma? Sounds good but you don't hear a peep from the vendor about them. Some of them are going to SuSE. It's irritating because CentOS 7 is very old and there's just no clear path to go right now.
