Linux Server OSes? (programming.dev)

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.

We're primarily a CentOS (6/7, kill me) and Rocky 8+ shop at work, with Debian handling our webservers. ~~My Boss~~ We like Rocky so much, it's even our base image for all of our containers (ugh).

My experience so far is that RHEL (and derivatives) are pretty solid, and not a bad choice. Though, I'd generally want to avoid the complexity that is SELinux in selfhost endeavors.
