KrzysztofMaciejewski You must comprehend that CentOS Stream isn't a full finished product, its not a production OS, its an upstream release whereas before CentOS was downstream, which means it derived from the finished Red Hat Enterprise Linux, while now CentOS will no longer be a finished production ready OS, but the step before that. And that's not what we run on critical sites so its no longer valid.
So far we've been enjoying Oracle Linux which is a production ready OS, the same that is in use by Oracle's paying customers, public repos and so on. But we're still interested in testing Project Lenix and RockyLinux when they're released.
If aaPanel removes or starts lacking Enterprise Linux support, going for inferior distributions, we rather pay cPanel licenses (as the #1 web hosting platform in the world ONLY supports EL). Us, as many corporate partners, don't work with Ubuntu nor Debian (a couple of guys on the development departments, cause its all they know, and as long as it runs on EL is what matters). Debian and likes are cool for college. If Ubuntu was worth something, IBM would have chosen it instead of Red Hat. If Debian was all that good, Amazon Linux, Oracle Linux, CloudLinux, CoreOS, and an endless list of market players would be using it. They're not. Xen Hypervisor is also built on EL.
Cannonical never invented anything and doesn't even contribute with nothing useful or interesting to the open-source community. They tried to develop a GUI - Unity - which was such a crap that got discontinued in a matter of years. They are nothing but rich kiddies marketing a crappy Linux distro, and a herd of mindless puppets going for it. A bit like that "PowerBalance" bracelet hoax, everybody knows that marketing sells, and also speaks about the consumer who falls for it.
There is no new software on Debian. systemd, firewalld, the new ip stack (iproute2), and so on, most of the modules and apps have been ported from Fedora Project, their creators are well established on that community (Red Hat upstream). Bleeding-edge technology is available first on EL, matures, gets tested and tried, then comes out stable, so others can take it and port it to other systems.
The distro in use tells us much about the people behind that option.
