Hi, mostly i use REHL based distros like Centos/Rocky/Oracle for the solutions i develop but it seems its time to leave…

What good server/minimal distro you use ?

Will start to test Debian stable.

    If you want easy way - Ubuntu. All packages exist, all developers support. But snap is pain.

    If you need mainline packages - Arch. But be care with bugs. Use LTS kernel or you can broke filesystem on one day for example.

    If you want forgot about dependencies - NixOS. But Nix not classic packet manager and you can feel pain on start.

    In reality, a lot depends on the environment in which your code will work. If it’s Java, then in principle it doesn’t matter, but if it’s C/C++, it’s better to develop in an environment as close to production as possible.
