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.

ditch ubuntu and switch to debian :)
We’ve had Debian on some machines, and while it’s stable, packages tend to be too old for some operations. Maybe Sid…
…there is backporting or containers. Or arch btw :D

Learning nix might be worth it on a server.
Debian
I use Debian for my own server for over 3 years now and it’s been great so far.
