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.

    I can throw in a vote for Debian stable as well. I’ve recently installed Debian 12 and I’ve been blown away by how great it’s been compared to my recent Fedora 38 experience out of box.

      What kind of hardware are you running it on? I’ve started using Debian for servers, but I’m still using Fedora for laptops, currently. I am always curious about different options.

        This is my daily driver tower.

        • i9 10850k
        • ASUS TUF Gaming Z590-Plus
        • NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER

        I don’t use wifi however it did work out of the box. The only thing that required additional setup was the Nvidia card but the driver was available in the repos.

        If you do end up testing it out on a laptop let me know how it goes. I have a Windows laptop lying around here somewhere that could use some love.

          Will do ! It looks like your stuff is pretty recent. 13th gen seems to be a bit different for Intel because of the processor layout and I think requires a new kernel version and that’s what I apparently have

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

    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.
