Are the numbers real?
annual revenue of backing company:
That's astonishing
I fully support the choice of fedora with bootc. It's an amazing technology. But it's somewhat sad that it's not a European linux base for European institutions.

Ubuntu is also correct
Oh imagine if canonical gave even a fraction of that back to Debian.
You mean like by hiring a significant chunk of Debian maintainers, including the most active apt developer, by having their employees maintain a significant chunk of Debian packages, and by explicitly upstreaming their patches to Debian?
Jep, SUSE is quite big. Ubuntu is only more popular among private users

Fedora Kionite because no one likes gnome 3. Suse ane ubuntu are also good choices. SELinux or Apparmor? That is the question.
I prefer Silverblue & its minimalism. That said I just jumped back on Fedora Atomic Cosmic and is far enough along I will use it as the daily going forward & watch it develop. Its nice.
I do like cosmic. XFCE also works on wayland now. Lots of options.
