I've seen a lot of different enterprise and personal use distros for servers, but what do you guys use?

I'm planning on using Debian but was wondering if there are any other good free options to consider.

I am enjoying IoT. I got it for headless machines after trying Bazzite. IoT is definitely an easier install on bare metal, they do an ISO for you. I don't have a setup where CoreOS/ucore make sense just yet, so I cannot speak much to any differences there.

Also a Feature comparison between IoT and coreOS would be very much needed, I have no idea what the difference is, apart from the installation

Yeah I dont get coreOS too, tried to install it in a VM.

I mean this ignition might be super cool, but why not have a fallback preconfigured wheel account?

Just changing the password would be so easy and lock out everyone else on that session.

Or just change the password, restart sshd and thats it.
