I read the "no gratuitously negative comments" rule, and I will have you know that I spent a full 10 seconds thinking about different ways to phrase my comments on this (old) article. Article summary: "I like RH/CentOS, and so you should use it" - as suprjami points out in his comment, he disregards most of his own points. We use ubuntu for general purpose stuff, and alpine linux for more task-specific stuff - especially for container images. I have a bitter resentment towards rpm and yum hasn't done anything to make that go away. We don't like systemd, and are evaluating alternatives to ubuntu for that reason.
