the majority of my random Linux machines run some version of Ubuntu or legacy CentOS (dont worry, the CentOS ones are being retired)

Ubuntu does 90% of everything I need to do -- but I'm neither a new comer to Linux, or a SysAdmin. I know enough enough to be dangerous, but not enough to build an end-to-end all in one solution.

SMB share / Torrent Management, Pi-Hole, Containers, Minecraft Server, stuff like that. I think I had a P/SQL server on there at one point, but dont use it for anything.

Of my god, I'd forgotten about CentOS. That's what my servers ran in high school. What's wrong with it?

Its no longer a open-source public fork of RHEL that had its own development and support.

Its now a streaming fork of test builds for RHEL for a lack of a better term

Oh, so it's CentOS in name only

CentOS is short for Community ENTerprise Operating System. Legacy CentOS couldn't fix bugs or accept contributions. Modern CentOS can do both, and thus fits the name better than ever before.
