Depends on your needs.

If you are creating something like credit card processing software that needs to run stably for 10 years with little change? CentOS or Redhat if you'd rather outsource the support.

If you are creating a new website or app using the latest, in-style software stack? Ubuntu or vanilla Debian if you don't care about a regular release cycle.

Red Star OS tbfh

open-vm-tools is broken so FreeBSD

CentOS for poorfags. RHEL for people with money to burn.

You almost certainly would, at that level.

I know a lot of big companies, especially those with ass covering middle managers running the place, really like paying for RHEL support.

But in my experience, most companies don't end up using the support that much so it is probably more economical for most of them to hire one or two kickass RHEL admins to do the support. Especially since most people who use a lot of RHEL end up installing a lot of 3rd party software or compiling stuff from source in order to work around the outdated base on RHEL and Redhat won't support any of that.

And that kids is why friends don't let friends use VMware.

>>56016441
Best answer.

>>56016572
Really? I didn't figure that Red Hat would be so quick to stop supporting you. I guess it doesn't make much sense to pay for the support, then.
