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.

I am thinking about Fedora IOT or uBlue Core. A lot of stuff needs Docker, even though I think SELinux and secure packages make more sense.

Also keeping an eye on CentOS bootc, which is way more stable but continuously integrated fixes, atomic updates, reversible...

I am enjoying IoT. I got it for headless machines after trying Bazzite. IoT is definitely an easier install on bare metal, they do an ISO for you. I don't have a setup where CoreOS/ucore make sense just yet, so I cannot speak much to any differences there.

Also a Feature comparison between IoT and coreOS would be very much needed, I have no idea what the difference is, apart from the installation
