It is now VERY EXPENSIVE at $500/server/year to get full security coverage on Ubuntu server vs. other true community projects.

If you need to rely on CentOS or RHEL-compatible applications the OpenSUSE won’t do it for you.
Don’t get me wrong, I am sure it is very good at what it does, but it doesn’t do this.

Oracle is not an option for me because I was at the sharp end of their open-source support previously, I won’t make that mistake again.

Like Ricardo, I will be choosing between Rocky and Alma

It was simply a means to an end. I thought RedHat already had a test bed compile all the time, so this is confusing.
