What OS does your Servers run?
Just want to know since windows is fucking dumb and slow and laggy a bit. Imo Debian 13 is comfy

You missed FreeBSD from the poll.
Where is NixOS?
I can share this once again.
Thanks for reminding me that i cannot edit the poll
Slackware when possible, if not Debian 13. I have 2/3 where last resort was ubuntu or alma..
Almalinux 8
Almalinux is the only way forward
Where has this been all my life. Only been running Almalinux for servers for a couple of months after Debian pissed me the fuck off.
Almost universally Debian 13. Alma lovers, sell me on what you like about it.
How did Alma gain the lead over Rocky?
Rocky had initially started out very strong as a CentOS replacement started by the founder of CentOS.
Ubuntu.
No Windows Server NT4 w SP2?
Rigged
Inconclusive poll
Debian. Well documented and just werks with anything I throw at it. Alpine for vps with <512mb ram though I could probably still use debian on them for my usecase (vpn/low traffic edge server).
It covers ALL windows versions
Centos was the one of bests for a long time, now everyone that provides Hosting services moved to Almalinux and its a better choice tbh.
From time to time I like to try installing a rhel based os like rocky, to be a bit more familiar with selinux hardening and podman since it's in the red hat ecosystem. But I often end up going back to debian and the good old docker-ce at some point, because it doesn't want to work the way I want with those restrictions.
debian thanks
Debian but OS doesn’t affect me very much given I run everything in Docker containers anyway
All the debian!
I'm still stick with Debian. Some of provider not support almalinux image or not have x86_64v2, and almalinux not always working under 1GB RAM. I have some problem with docker and almalinux firewall too (container still working but docker log have bunch of iptables/nftable error).
Always Debian 13.
Ubuntu as backup in the rare cases I can't do Debian (I always remove snap).
And I sometimes use Alpine on low memory instances
Debbie got the love
Debian (most of the time), some cases Ubuntu
All the Debian 13, but running Alpine on very low configuration vps and it's great.
I've been running debian various forever
Debian! I'm also convinced to switch from Ubuntu Desktop to Debian if I ever buy a new NVMe drive.
