Linux Server OSes? (programming.dev)

I've seen a lot of different enterprise and personal use distros for servers, but what do you guys use?

I'm planning on using Debian but was wondering if there are any other good free options to consider.

Interesting I hadn't heard of these "atomic" distros. There isn't really much description of what exactly is atomic about them though - all you get is "The whole system is updated in one go". Can you explain it?

It works similarly to Android and iOS. The system partition is read-only, and each new system update is applied as a new system partition image. All user apps are kept separate from the system and are sandboxed.
