I can see why Ubuntu would say that. :p I like Ubuntu and have been using the LTS versions on my desktops and laptops for the last 10 years or more. It does that job well and I have few complains (if any). And they mostly center on their idiotic update policy (do I really need four kernel updates in the same week?!?) or are UI related issues between major releases. However, I can't see myself using Ubuntu as a server and I'd pick a straight Debian over an Ubuntu for server purposes at any time. > totally different package management system True. I had started porting the BlueOnyx build architecture over to Debian to crank out DEBs instead of RPMs and been working on that sporadically as a low priority project. But that's something that's still months off from getting anywhere near where it needs to be. I've also toyed with the idea of stuffing BlueOnyx into a Snap to make it more OS-agnostic (as it would run on any OS that supports Snaps). While that may work, we'd loose a lot of flexibility as you'd be unable to alter config files for daemons on your own. The whole innards of BlueOnyx would become a hell of a lot more "hands off". Which gives up a lot of flexibility and ability to customize for little gain. All in all: Once AlmaLinux goes stable it'll be the OS of choice for BlueOnyx 5210R and we'll transition existing CentOS 8 based installed over via a YUM update sometime mid-year. -- With best regards Michael Stauber _______________________________________________ Blueonyx mailing list Blueonyx@mail.blueonyx.it http://mail.blueonyx.it/mailman/listinfo/blueonyx
