Choosing the Right Linux Distribution | Pros & Cons of the Top 7 Server Distros

[@vaughngx4]

For some reason I've found better support for older hardware with Alma than Rocky

[@gradowik]

now i'm wondering: Alma vs Rocky? Planned usage: workstation and/or heavily modified (stripped) system for thin client netbooks.

[@Anthony-cn8ll]

Alma has financial support from Cloud Linux. Rocky was started up by the creator of CentOS.

18 comments - First distro i installed was Slackware 3.1 i believe, form 12 1.44 diskettes. Later soon, S.u.S.E 5.1 and allways one of it till present Tumbleweed ... but also a large time "Gentoo" and my own L.F.S ... Never could install a Debian, i believe it is a very great distro ... nothing to do with "ubuntu" ... never a RedHat {Fedora} one, bur i know its also a fine distro ... just SuSE have allways been a very usefull and easy to use.

i couldn't pay attetion to anything other than the first picture of the galaxy on the wall, crooked and disaligned 😂 Jokes appart, great video! Thank you!

[@pkorobase]

What about Distros for Raspis? They are often used as Servers, aren't they? So maybe Raspian, and others?

[@nevoyu]

Eh I run Gentoo on my server and use it to kill nvme drives on Linode! Mostly because I'm working on development and need the build server, lol

[@JenniferTopas]

Alma and Rocky should combine forces to continue the CentOS legacy

What's the opening soundtrack?

[@maxx27i]

Very nice explanation! thank you!

good weekend jay !!

[@mentalmarvin]

Where's Alpine?

[@nevoyu]

Alpine isn't really all that popular as a server base. It's more used as a base image for containers.

[@pieterrossouw8596]

@@nevoyu agreed. It's just a little too light IMO - makes sense for containers

[@ObscuraDeCapra]

Take a shot when this dude says "well."

[@rahuldsouza1985]

Can Slackware be used as a server os

[@AkamaiDeveloper]

Yes, we currently support Slackware 14.2 List of distros are available here www.linode.com/distributions/

[@Anthony-cn8ll]

Manage my packages? Slackware: no u!

[@replikvltyoutube3727]

I'm a bit late, but can you cover NixOS?

[@rahilarious]

Gentoo with distcc or binary host is the way to go. Ultra rolling (straight outta github) or debian stable, YOU CHOOSE ! and ofc fastest performance and most security

[@pabloqp7929]

i use Arch btw

[@lilydarcy3935]

rocky or debian is a better game server

[@johnasejo]

Oracle Linux

[@tjk9008]

Open SUSE leap is going away and no longer supported.

[@HumbleHuman-k7g]

One thing, he forget to mention rolling release distribution like Arch Linux

[@dxaniol]

but this is rolling and unstable

[@Anthony-cn8ll]

Linode supports it but it's probably not as popular on servers. Arch is best for the bleeding edge hobbyist.

[@nisachannel7077]

Not useful

[@mridulranjan1069]

Sorry man, but if you just had to "talk", please post your stuff as a Podcast and not a KZbin video.
