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.
I’ve also heard good things about bitwig, though it’s not FOSS, annoyingly.
