Comment on How is your experience with Fedora as a server?

Not trying to be a jerk but if you don’t want any comparisons then how are you going to get any actual feedback other than “it’s good” or “it’s okay/bad.”
Don’t get me wrong I run fedora as my main server and love it. That’s about all I can say since I can’t give you a comparison of what it’s like vs Ubuntu, CentOS, or windows.
Then again most of my main services I run are all docker containers now but that runs about the same on almost all servers.

You got a point. But I was afraid of some unhelpfull childish comments starting an unusefull debate.
Of course any wela-intentioned comparison would be very appreciated.🙏

Good point. I could totally see a “why would yo use that instead of this…” kind of comments.
Okay so Fedora was one of my first Linux experiences so take what I say with a grain of salt. I really like it and its package manager is nice. A lot of the same features can be found in other distros just using other tools. The way it does web hosting is something I like (or liked) a lot but almost all of that is now down using Docker for me.
The one thing to keep in mind is that the community forums are not as user friendly as Ubuntu. At least this was the case 10 years ago when I was new. There were a lot of “how hard is it to search for httpd in the forums” when the question was similar to “how do i setup web hosting.”
The one thing that is not server specific but I would recommend is that you look into docker and portainer if you have not already. That is how I host almost all of my services now. Using nginx proxy manager (nginxproxymanager.com) as the front end for almost all of has made my life a heck of a lot simpler. Good luck with trying out your new server.
