Hi team from LINBIT, This looks really great that Cloudstack now has an easier way to deploy especially for those who are just trying to learn it (like me).
I hope this question doesn't spark any issue but as someone who is new in the field of system engineering, I would like to know why the choice of AlmaLinux instead of others e.g. Rocky Linux, Ubuntu, Debian. I'm eager to learn how any of you (not just LINBIT), choose their Linux distro for server uses. Please ignore this if this doesn't really relate to CloudStack.
