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.

There are several options. Alma/Rocky, Fedora, Debian, BSD, just to name a few.

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

I thought very similar after the RHEL moves that Red Hat has made. I was thinking OpenSUSE or Debian, but I am still unsure as what I am going to do.

[–] Bruce@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

With a server in mind I'd go OpenSuse Leap.

What’s motivating you to leave?

I use Ubuntu for everything (including at work, tens of thousands machines) and it's great

If RHEL-based is no longer an option for OP, how would of all things Ubuntu be the alternative?

Personal and general purpose: KDE Neon (yeah yeah)

Servers: IDK, now. Probably going to check out SUSE.

[–] Bruce@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Con: KDE Neon dropped LTS support.

What do you mean by this? Its currently based on 22.04 LTS? Can't find anything about them going to non-LTS
