Debian is not so well. I was using it for years in parallel with CentOS. Debian is too much in late for packages, doesn’t respect standards (e.g apache is not a webserver, it’s httpd. And the bad use of “sites-enabled” in contrast of all others distributions…). And .deb packages are not well tested at build time while rpmbuild is way more ensuring. Debian hasn’t a good iptables overlay like we have with firewalld and nftables (very important for containers). And there is no good support of podman. Debian is a nice distribution but I don’t recommend using it for strong and up to date production server.
