Question
Which Linux Distribution to use next?
As a long term RHEL / Centos user, old software versions became the bane of my life (albeit with backported security fixes).
A while back I switched to Ubuntu and it was like a breath of fresh air.
The time has come to spin up another droplet, and I was wondering if to go for the latest version of Ubuntu, or whether to try a different distro?
I do a lot of WordPress and Laravel development and both platforms are now constantly trying to push you to the latest version of PHP, but I find upgrading to be a pain when you have to break free from the default system repos in order to do so.
Based on this, which would be the best choice? I have positive experience with Ubuntu but have never used Debian or FreeBSD.
Thanks,
