for network application FreeBSD is probably better
I used Alma Linux on 1 production server a few weeks ago, haven't had any problems yet
I moved to RL. So far so good!
Yes, still same as the regular enterprise one according to my experience (I also manage an enterprise subscription for an educational institution but I don't use it for my server), just no support. I'd dare to say it's the most polished Linux OS I have ever used, I even use it as a desktop, LOL.

This is why I would never use Fedora on a server. Imagine running a routine upgrade and then scrambling to find a fix because docker doesn't work anymore.
The 6 month release cycle isn't ideal for a server, and with every upgrade you run the risk of an unbootable server. I would rather stick with stable RHEL fork like CentOS/Rocky/Alma and just pull the latest versions of softwares from repo or run them in docker.
But they provide security updates regularly? Isn't
Any compatibility issue ? Which control panel you are using ?
Yes, they do, provided that your (developer) subscription is active.
Debian
but you trusted Centos (8) and they broke y(our) trust.
Ubuntu is the king of the Jungle.
I use pure RL and I haven't had any problems.
Be sure to read the release notes:
https://docs.rockylinux.org/release_notes/8.4/
I think Rsyslog problem was solved and Secure Boot is underway.
RL chat channels are full of people that can help if something won't go as expected.
Thanks 👍 but I have migrated to RHEL
Thanks everyone for your suggestions 😊 finally I have decided to Install RHEL and I found it's very light on server resources 🙂
Well, it's identical to what you had before (CentOS 8), so I should hope so. It's not like you're installing a totally different distribution.
Only the subscription/update model of RHEL would be slightly different from the derivatives, from what I've read.
Not sure about the ‘hate’ of AlmaLinux; yes, CloudLinux and the company don’t appear to be great open source citizens, but they’ve made commitments for AlmaLinux.
That said, I personally use Debian-based distros so perhaps I’m missing something.
The thing I like most is , I can check for errors and updates for all machines running on RHEL from my mobile by logging in to my rhel account, there is no need to login to each server and check for updates and errors.
So 5***** for RHEL
So you don't trust CloudLinux because they might someday publish paid add-ons to a GPL project...but you do trust IBM (one of the titans of proprietary software) not to change its mind about making RHEL free...?
I mean, party on but I don't see the logic.
In all fairness, IBM/RHEL only seem to care about paid support and the like; CloudLinux is built upon their somewhat proprietary code and it’s benefit to the hosting industry (and others…).
Almalinux, works flawless after migration from Centos 8 box with DirectAdmin
Yes I do. Remove docker, install podman and make a shortcut if you can't remember that, and you were all done: alias docker='podman'
I prefer RHEL
I would like to suggest going for CentOS 7 64bit for all the support that you need.
I want to build a RHEL fork just for fun. Anyone with good knowledge about debranding, rpmdevtools, mock, koji builder, lots of spec files and other things?
You can start here: https://forums.rockylinux.org/t/step-by-step-process-for-forking-rebuild-rhel/192
I wanted to do it as well (just for fun), but gave up (for now) because the debranding process seems to be a lot of manual work...
OTOH and OT: Does anyone know the legality of not debranding the sources, rebuilding the sources, and then distributing the binaries?
I got this far with the help of Internet and Rocky Linux wiki. They even added in their docs which packages need debranding. And if you don't debrand Red Hat will likely come after you.
Windows is prem.
Does it not fall under fair use? I'm wondering how the law applies here.
