  I hate that CONFIG_ZSWAP is unset on the cloud kernels...

  Although it may not be the most secure, I use Debian on everything with enough memory (otherwise Alpine Linux). I eventually plan to switch over to OpenSUSE on everything. They have a similar level of stability but their security team is more proactive.

  I like it. Tested it couple days ago. Worked nice, but on my tight ram vm, used more ram than slackware or debian for idling purposes. Probably should had install it from iso instead using template.
  Otherwise setting up is fast, they have almost everything in their repo.

  They have a number of different versions, including versions for very low-memory systems that are competitive with Alpine Linux.

  No. If you say Windows an old Gypsy woman will curse you and you will die.

  Thanks, that you shared it again

  I did a migration from Debian/Ubuntu to AlmaLinux with my entire VPS test environment and I must say, I like it. Only downside I see at the moment is, that Debian/Ubuntu dominate the market and most docs are written assuming you use that, other than that, AlmaLinux seems to be superior for my use cases.

  I’m currently using AlmaLinux 10.1, courtesy of ServerHost, and to be honest, it’s working out perfectly for me without any issues.

  Yeah, thankfully though most things built around Debian/Ubuntu do work on Almalinux as well (unless it's installed with a single auto install script that supports only Deb ofc...)

  Not in the list but FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD. So far NetBSD is my favorite.

  I'm curious, why NetBSD over OpenBSD?

  Sadly not all and I noticed multiple differences already. You cannot follow guides and docs one for one and when you already know Debian/Ubuntu, it feels a bit, wasted, if that makes sense.

  Anyways... I think that each distro has it's cons and pros and personally I don't see that one would make the other completely obsolete.
