Hi, mostly i use REHL based distros like Centos/Rocky/Oracle for the solutions i develop but it seems its time to leave…

What good server/minimal distro you use ?

Will start to test Debian stable.

Debian stable. The mix of having a stable host but being able to pull in flatpak / appimage / docker containers with newer software is awesome.

Debian yes, but don’t install from flatpaks or docker. Neither is secure.

AppImage can be secure if the release is signed.

Docker can pull images securely, but it’s disabled by default and many developers don’t sign their releases, so even if you enable it client-side there’s a risk you’ll download something malicious.

Flatpak is never secure because it doesn’t support signing of releases at all.

Apt is always secure because all packages must be cryptographically signed (by default).

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
