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.

What we use in my office, depends on the type of servers:

  • For virtual server (we made a golden template of it) we use Debian 12
  • For virtualization host/ganeti cluster we use Debian 11
  • For NAS, we use OpenMediaVault (based on Debian)

Why debian 12 over 11 and vice versa?

I would like to default to debian 12 if I have to start fresh.

The Ganeti Cluster was installed on Debian 10 then when 11 launched, I upgraded it. It's a 10 nodes cluster and I just don't have time to upgrade it yet. The last update to 11 took me a week to troubleshoot.
