View Poll Results: Server Distribution of the Year
I have voted for RHEL.
The reality being that for most of the projects (if not all) that I am involved in and on which I have a decision, I use CentOS (and since few months Rocky Linux).
But those being bug to bug RHEL clones, their merit goes to RHEL.
Go ahead and laugh at me. We have a parts/inventory server running arch. And it works just fine. It's not suppose to be a "server" linux. The point is that linux works well as a server. The one that you are most familiar with. So that you know how it works, how to update it, how to read its logs, how to administer it.
CentOS I've used this for 5 years for every possible use from render farms to to database clusters and everything in between
CentOS Stream as this is new to the mix and as CentOS is not going past release 8 giving Stream a go, on initial findings, it seem a good next step.
OpenBSD Unix, but FreeBSD Unix, NetBSD Unix, Open Solaris Unix forks, Slackware, maybe Devuan and Gentoo are also good (don't know about DragonFlyBSD yet, but probably.)
It'd be nice if there was an built-in way to compare poll results over time - I manually grabbed previous polls to produce the attached graph.
No idea how meaningful/representative of anything the votes here are, but interesting that the demise of CentOS has not resulted in a rise of RHEL votes.
