I'd be seriously considering Debian or, hear me out, NixOS. We run all our work servers on Ubuntu, but ~6 months ago I switched my workstation to NixOS and I couldn't be happier. I've been following "latest" or whatever they call it, being able to treat the OS package versions like the rest of our software (update the flake.lock file and then burn it in in dev+stg for ~2 weeks before rolling to prod) is pretty attractive.

No legit enterprise is running that clownware — ever.
I certainly know people who run NixOS in commercial production. It's hardly "clownware".
It used to be true that no one got fired for buying IBM. Now, I would laugh at any organization that chooses IBM.
Times can change.
I think helsing and or andruil do?
