Amazon Corretto, Microsoft Build of OpenJDK, Red Hat Build, IBM Semeru, Oracle, or something else?
Personally, I trust Liberica JDK (https://bell-sw.com/pages/libericajdk/) - default runtime for all Spring Boot applications, provided by one of the top OpenJDK contributors companies with reasonable pricing. Worth mentioning, they did a great job to make Docker containers as small as possible with Alpine Linux and Liberica Lite.

Install Asdf: One Runtime Manager to Rule All Dev Environments
I would suggest learning how to use SDKMAN: https://sdkman.io/
It will manage the JDK for you. Usage is basically this:
# Install a JDK, that version is now default -
Groovy 🎷 Cheat Sheet - 01 Say "Hello" from Groovy
Alternatively, you can use sdkman. A great tool to install your Software Development Kit. The downside is that it only works on *nix systems. So for Widnows users, you will have to use WSL or Cygwin as the official page suggests. It is really simple to use sdkman. after a successful installation, just type those commands into your *nix shell:

Java Microservices with Spring Boot and Spring Cloud
To run the example, you must install the Auth0 CLI and create an Auth0 account. If you don't have an Auth0 account, sign up for free. I recommend using SDKMAN! to install Java 17+ and HTTPie for making HTTP requests.

First time Linux user
If you have any tips/advice then I'm all ears. I've already modified the dnf.conf with fastmirror and max_parallel_downloads I'm currently not using sdkman because this is my personal machine, so I don't mind always using the latest version OpenJDK. If I ever do need to switch between versions then I'll switch over to sdkman instead.

MOOC.fi question - Is there a way to automatically default to JDK 17 to where I don't have to set up an SDK every single time?
For handling your JDK: I highly recommend purging your system of all JDKs/JRMs - get rid of it all - and download SDK (if you're using Windows, you'll need to do this through WSL). This tool manages software development kits very well; switching between JDKs is super straightforward: sdk use .
