    Any sysadmins here to suggest an alternative server distro? We’ve been installing Ubuntu in most of our VMs at our company, and while I realize it’s a hassle to switch them all, I kinda want to at least have a discussion about it.

      Since you(r team) already have the Ubuntu experience, the obvious and senseful migration path is Debian. Stable plus docker/podman covers for most of what’s needed plus cover for the “bUt thIS paCKaGe iS 2 weEkS olD!!!1” crew.

      Fedora is the only other “server distro” that I know of but obviously you can install any distro and just omit the desktop environment from the install.
