    1: Ubuntu [1 16.67%] û
    2: Debian [1 16.67%] û
    3: A Debian variant (Mint/MX/other) [1 16.67%] û

    These probably could have been combined into one like the RHEL/CentOS/Fedora one is (I assume Rocky/Alma/Oracle/Scientific/etc fall under this)

    They probably could have been, but I would have been reluctant to vote on
    an option that included Ubuntu. It may be based on Debian, but IMHO Debian
    is much more stable, especially when it comes time for a release upgrade.

    I run Debian, Devuan (a Debian variant), and Raspbian here. Used to run
    Ubuntu on one sbc because I thought I had to. Just like the other time I
    tried out ubuntu on another machine, when it came time for the next release upgrade, I followed the directions and wound up with an sbc that didn't
    work any more.

    Installed the relative Debian version instead and viola, it just worked.

    I run a mystic BBS on raspian, and several game servers on Ubuntu.

    I really like Ubuntu.

    I liked it and thought it worked fine so long as I didn't ever try to upgrade to the next release. ;)
