Tbh I do not know the ins and outs of rhel based distros, so these have caught my interest. I’ve tries live usb of both and I really did like the feel of alma. Rocky I thought felt like every other GNOME system… But I clearly dont really know much about these sort of distros and their capabilities. Are these considered enterprise grade? I have no clue. Would love to hear your thoughts on alma and Rocky and what makes them different that other distros. Thanks

    Debian 12 was just released. You are not going to need to upgrade it ( until June 2028 ).

    Certainly though, being able to say in the same release for a long time is one of the primary reasons to use RHEL or its clones.

      My goal was to install openstack on my server, using kolla-ansible, one of the automatic installers. It officially supported debian 11. I would have had to upgrade when the openstack packagers switched over to 12.

      But it also officially supported Rocky Linux 9, which goes eol in like 7 years.
