Business distributions vs. Community distributions (lemmy.world)

Hello. What type of distribution do you prefer in Linux, an enterprise-based distribution (Ubuntu) or a community-based distribution (Debian)? Do you think that enterprise-based distributions benefit from higher quality development and offer a higher level of security?

Distributions of corporate origin such as Ubuntu, Leap, Fedora, etc., i.e. distributions that exist because there is a company supporting the development community. More specifically, is it more advisable to use a distribution supported by a company that contributes a large part of the system's development?

@Maragato Ah I see, I was thinking of consumer businesses rather than producer businesses. In that case I would definitely opt for community-produced distros, every time.
