I too try to run as close as possible to what my customer runs in
production. For a long time, that was Fedora, which is effectively an
upstream for Centos. I'm waiting to see what happens in the centos
switch to quasi-continuous.

Hi All,
I've been running Slackware since forever. It's time to grow up and
see the world. Which distro would you recommend that I move to?
Yes, I know it's personal, and reasons will be varied and educational.
- Ubuntu -- OK. I use it at work in VM and in WSL (Windows Subsystem
for Linux). For me, Mint is another flavour, just like Kubuntu,
Xubuntu, etc.
It can make a lot of sense to run the same at home that you use at
work, so that you're only tracking one distro's quirks and issues, and
being that much more effective at work and needing that much less time
spent debugging issues at home.
I was running Red Hat back when a past job was on that, up until Red
Hat jumped the shark, then CentOS during a couple of gigs that used
that, then I decided it was time to dig into Debian just months before
a job that used that came over the horizon. So now most of my boxes
run Debian.
Meanwhile I picked up Gentoo back around the time RH was bothering me
too much to touch on my own time anymore, partly as a technical
challenge to myself and partly to have the actual source code to
everything actually downloaded, but that can suck up an awful lot of
time even as it hones your sysadmin skills!
