Have you looked at Rocky Linux? Among the Enterprise Linux variants, it seems to be capturing the largest share of the market. (check out the growth chart at https://ciq.co/products/rocky-...)

Hi,
We're a Distributor company with 350 employees and 200 ERP users. My experience is with Red Hat Linux and Informix DB2.
Which OS platform do you recommend me to choose and why: Oracle Linux or Oracle Windows Server?

Oracle Linux is best for ERP Applications and databases.
We are using Oracle 12C and Oracle ERP 12.2.4 for 10 yrs. We have tested these products on Windows OS, Red Hat Linux and Oracle Linux.
But Oracle Linux is most compatible due to prebuilt configurations of Oracle's required kernel parameters. Windows is for personal use or for test/development environment but is not recommended for a production environment.
Ubunto Linux is a complete Linux operating system that is freely available with both community and professional support. This solution is suitable for both desktop and server use. It has a very appealing GUI that makes it very easy for users coming from a Windows ecosystem to understand. Ubuntu Linux makes for a really great, soft introduction to Linux.
Ubuntu Linux has some very demanding system requirements, though. There are many software applications that Ubuntu Linux does not support, which makes some collaborations difficult. It also has some reliability issues and can be a bit buggy.
Oracle Linux is flexible, robust, reliable, and scales easily. Of the many offered features, we like Ksplice best, as it allows us to update the Kernal without a reboot. Oracle Linux offers regular updates and patches which help support great security.
The GUI on Oracle Linux is not very attractive. The download speed is not good, and they could also improve their server capacity. Oracle Linux needs better integrations. It only works with Oracle products. It can also be a bit expensive to use.
Conclusion:
Ubunto is an African word that means “humanity to others” and also represents the expression “I am who I am because of who we all are.” Ubuntu Linux takes this meaning very seriously. It is free (they plan to keep it that way forever) and is very user-friendly, especially when compared to other Linux distributions, and offers excellent community support. If you are new to the Linux ecosystem, Ubunto Linux is a great place to start.
Oracle Linux is very flexible and secure and is the best choice for enterprises already running on Oracle or planning to migrate to Oracle solutions.

Oracle Linux is an Enterprise product with Server level features.
Ubuntu is a Desktop platform not a mature product. only for small business developers applications. not much stable as oracle Linux.
if you to run 3rd party server software Oracle Linux usually have better support than Ubuntu.
Oracle Linux is a corporate world, But Ubuntu try to fill this gap but still lack of technology stack in server world
PeerSpot takes a user-centered approach to creating product comparisons that help IT decision-makers arrive at informed decisions. Instead of relying on the word of the companies that create the technological solutions, they go to the users themselves. Real users offer true feedback without any of the partiality that the solutions’ vendors may have. This is a place where peers in the tech worl...
@Netanya Carmi,This is an insightful article.
But in my opinion, Rocky Linux (as a potential successor) of CentOS, will be the next big thing in the open-source world, as already many solutions are supporting it though only the BETA version for now.
Still, your article is quite a heads up. Thanks!
I too would like to see this list expand to all of the relevant Linux distributions. I'm really surprised to see Oracle Linux on here and not see Rocky or Alma. As is shown in this chart generated from data provided by the Fedora project: https://rocky-stats.tiuxo.com/static/el_by_distro_line.png
Rocky and Alma are far more relevant and widely used than Oracle.
System, Value, and Decision failures bring the grinding wheel to a halt
As put by a Quality guru, People in general, more than 80% of the team are, in fact, productive and efficient. The problem then is with the chosen few who have an efficient short-term view but high-risk performance focus. By all means helpful except what it takes to future proof the organisation and make it relevant for th...
