Hi, mostly i use REHL based distros like Centos/Rocky/Oracle for the solutions i develop but it seems its time to leave..

What good server/minimal distro you use ?

Will start to test Debian stable.

You can't go wrong with Debian

I have been using Debian for about 20 years now. Server and desktop. But I recently migrated all my server stuff to FreeBSD and I don't think I will move back. Jails are great and provide me a convenient way to isolate my apps. On the desktop side I will stay with Debian.

Debian's pretty good, but you can always use RHEL with a free account too

Debian is stable. Arch is bleeding edge and vanilla. if you want something on arch you got to install it and follow the arch wiki

Debian

Debian 12 Bookworm is their best release ever, and I am seeing a lot of positive opinions about it suddenly. It may be a Ubuntu 16.04 moment.

Go check The Linux Experiment's video, among a lot of other videos and discussion forums.

Those are not "details", but "blur sources".

Have you bothered to research the consensus and what Debian's new release has? Literally 2 minutes away if you search internet instead of replying. Do not expect spoonfeeding.

Bla bla bla, so much energy to just not give what I ask for.

If your solutions are work/job related and need to be distributed I think your current options are SUSE or Debian. If your solution is something only you maintain, you could check out NixOS.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
