I am about to set up a cloud instance with linux operating system, and the common choice here normally would be ubuntu. But since they failed their newest release, and I have the option of going fedora or debian. What would you guys recommend for server?


My AI says I should always choose Debian 12 (last stabel) instead of 13 (latest build). Is this still a thing? Not hosting applications that needs to be reliably run on latest builds?
Classic AI Garbage!
Debian 13 is stable and the latest stable you can get…
Debian 13 download page, source of quote
I’m running on Debian Trixie since release last year with exactly zero issues, you can hardly get more stable than with Debian.
The current stable release is Debian 13. Choosing 12 is nonsense.
