Been using Alma as a replacement for CentOS, shame what happened to CentOS, still mainly RedHat for prod linux servers, although RH9 has some fun quirks, luckily still only testing, fun times.
I'd be interested in the reasoning for picking Rocky over Alma, if you can/will share?We're going with Rocky for all of our servers, many thousands of CentOS7 boxes to migrate, dreading it lol.
<3 Fedora. Nobara is nicely polished if you don't want to mess about setting it up for yourself. I've played with the last two versions.Been using Nobara Linux for the past couple months on my gaming laptop. Working great so far and has given me better FPS than PopOS
I was using PopOS previously. Nobara is doing a much better job at keeping my CPU pegged for games like CSGO. I saw over 80fps improvement.I'd be interested in the reasoning for picking Rocky over Alma, if you can/will share?

That is when I starred using Linux. Think it was Mandrake 8, then I purchased a boxed version of Mandrake 9, wish I knew where it disappeared to.I started out on Mandrake Linux back in 03 or something around there, and went on to Debian then Gentoo. I remember printing out the entire manual to install it and spent days compiling stuff to get a working system. Good fun.
These days I continually go back to Arch. There are many good distros I've tried recently. Tumbleweed, MX Linux and so on, but Arch is what I'm used to using. I use Debian on my server though.
Why would you go with either now with the stuff Red hat is pulling. Why would you not just install Debian onto everything? i moved everything over when they pulled the cento8 bs and its been easier on my life.I don't think Alma was even looked at in all honesty - this is the first time I'm hearing about it - I'm not a dedicated Linux engineer, I deal with Virtualization/Storage etc primarily. I know there was an issue with CentOS Stream and our Openstack at one point. The decision was made primarily due to that, and made at an architectural level. I won't go into specific detail as I'm not 100% sure I'd be allowed to. I suspect Alma would be fine, but a product was chosen and they're part way through it.

I can understand for something development, or the odd server in SMB, but for proper production use I'm always surprised Debian gets a look in. The project is great, don't get me wrong, but the security team is small and there's no SLA or commercial support. Nobody ever seems to think of SUSE - older than RHEL, solid, great folks, and an attractive commercial support contract. Oracle, likewise, seem to be sucking up some (unusual) PR wins here.It was quite before RedHats latest egregious issues, and we are indeed after the latest offering Debian now. But as I said earlier it wasn't even remotely my decision. I prefer Debian and have done for years.

I highly recommend OpenSUSE Tumbleweed (NOT OpenSUSE Leap). It is the best rolling release distro I have used.Fedora for security for my use case.
Liked Manjaro as a rolling but would break with updates for me and I lack the knowledge to fix it quick enough to be worth it for me.
Will check out Nobara, thanks.
Would like to go for something rolling (for security updates and not losing config when clean-install uodating) BUT more stable than whatever I was doing to break Manjaro, perhaps Debian Testing?
