I currently am predominantly Debian. Which is inherently LTS, and generally works Just Fine (TM) except when you fall into something where they are a just a bit too cautious (e.g lack of in-house PHP 8 option in the current Debian Bullseye release - nothing in main repo, nothing in backports, you have to go to an external repo).
I refuse to use Ubuntu because of their increasingly commercial smell. I tried SUSE but always felt a bit uncomfortable with some of its more exotic sysadmin tendencies.
Which kind of leaves me in the market for another LTS platform.

Which is inherently LTS In what possible way is Rocky not LTS? Its releases have longer lifespan than Debian, even with Debian LTS releases
- chungy 4y agoYeah, that. One of the driving points of RHEL (and all the downstreams as a result, like Rocky) is that you get a minimum of 10 years of support for every release.
