From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

An exceptionally well explained rant that I find myself in total agreement with.

Debian is great. I use it and love it every day.

I agree, it's my preferred distro and I run a couple of debian servers at home, and my personal laptop that I'm using now.

But work is all Centos and Rocky.

All of my servers for my LLC and at home are Debian. At my day job we use RHEL. I get to upgrade ~400 servers to RHEL8/9.

I've created a todo item for myself at work; "See how easily we can switch new builds to debian in our automation and management systems". Doesn't hurt to be flexible.
