I am about to set up a cloud instance with linux operating system, and the common choice here normally would be ubuntu. But since they failed their newest release, and I have the option of going fedora or debian. What would you guys recommend for server?

    Debian is already noiriously lagging behind latest package versions (that’s how they make it so stable : they freeze all package versions when they release a new version of Debian, and only backport security fixes).

    Either your AI was trained before Debian 13 came out, or it is giving you really bad advice. I can’t think of a single good reason to use an older Debian for a fresh install…
