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.

As the other reply said, Fedora and RHEL harbor the same problem as Ubuntu in terms of corporate backing.
They're all as stable at it gets when it comes to linux distros; all those "server distributions".
I guess people recommend debian because that's what they know. It's got the biggest community, so the most support.
Nothing against Rocky, but i wont recommend it if i've never used it.
