Related, if you want the latest version of a package like Wireguard (or GCC, or Python, or Perl, ...), then you might want to look at Fedora. Fedora has a 6 month release cycle. Each version you are on has the latest releases of its packages and gets full updates. And in 6 months you move onto the next stable version. At the 6 month release in the life cycle, you simply run dnf-system-upgrade [1] and you are on the next version of Fedora. dnf-system-upgrade is a lot like a Ubuntu dist-upgrade. I really like Fedora's model, the use of SELinux in enforcing mode, and Fedora's desire to provide the latest versions of software. In fact, I run Fedora Workstations to test the latest GCC compilers, and Fedora Servers when I need a web server. I no longer bother with CentOS or Red Hat servers. I can't stand that antique software that makes you use Software Collections (SCL) to get something semi-modern. I gave up on CentOS and Red Hat servers when trying to get Mediawiki running on them. CentOS and Red Hat servers with their old software was just too much work. I also use Ubuntu workstations and servers. But every now and again you want the latest software for a server, and that's when you want to consider Fedora.
