It's become interesting to follow what appears to be a re-invention of the model taking place as CIQ seeks to be for Rocky Linux what Canonical was for Ubuntu (hopefully, better!). There are, to be sure, significant differences between the two pairs' interrelationships; but it will be interesting to see the differences in approaches between the two. Might even make it worth exploring the Red Hat Universe again.

If I want to leave Ubuntu-world for my (nominally-headless) server, what would be the path of least resistance? Debian?

Thanks. That helps clarify things.

It is kind of tough trying to make a business as a Linux distro. And we
all benefit from those who try. Some businesses are more open than
others, possibly because they can afford to be. We need several to
thrive.

If all followed the debian model, I don't think Linux would be nearly as
rich an ecosystem.

I have never really liked Canonical -- some bad vibes that may be my
problem, not theirs. But they have enriched us all. They've made Linux
easier for ordinary folks.
