Windows, because it is enterprise software.

Debian, because it's the only OS I'm good at using. What makes CentOS better? Genuine question. Idk if its even worth switching to the Red Hat world anymore.

CentOS feels good for me, with Debian I only had trouble and I was sick of playing with an ancient os instead of using a os that is not 160 years old and centos feels good.

yum is awesome, rps is awesome.

I literally had no trouble using it so far.

Gentoo.

Debian. Packages the world and provides security updates for all of it for years. There's no wider security support in the Linux world. With RHEL you wind up doing a lot of your own security support as it's unlikely everything you use will fall under their support umbrella, and with CentOS you're just confused - you have neither high-quality support of the core nor wide security support across all software.

>inb4 CentOS users insisting there's no difference in support

CentOS is ancient. Debian Stable is ancient. But with Debian you can choose another release cycle that isn't ancient.

Centos isn't ancient. The latest version is rolling release.

Pick one.

Anon, you do know that even modern cryptographic standards were developed by the NSA, right?

I don't give a shit about nsa, selinux is a shitty implementation of a good idea and any system where I can't or have to jump through hoops to replace it with an appropriate mac is fucking shit.

FreeBSD, I like the fact it acts the same on all architectures I've used it on so I can get familiar with it and not have to worry about architecture specific differences in the base system/kernel. Even when it comes to third party packages you can use ports and it acts the same on all platforms, I much prefer it to manual patching/compiling when on weird hardware.

Oracle Linux, I like being able to patch glibc and the kernel etc without having to reboot
