I did consider Ubuntu, but it is based on Debian, whereas CentOS is basically RHEL- so I am more used to things like `yum` and `systemctl` etc.

Having said that, I am considering switching to Debian for servers (because [Red Hat are basically killing off CentOS](https://forum.devtalk.com/t/centos-project-shifts-focus-to-centos-stream/4858)) so if I do that then Ubuntu would probably be a really good option for me.

I do love CentOS and would prefer to stick to it if possible, or, [Rocky Linux: OS compatible with RHEL by the founder of CentOS](https://forum.devtalk.com/t/rocky-linux-os-compatible-with-rhel-by-the-founder-of-centos/4935) which seems like it will be its spiritual successor 😃
