what is the typical size of Linux updates?
This might be a good use case for RHEL family distribution (such as CentOS Stream or AlmaLinux) or Debian. These are much longer lived distributions, and provide fewer update churn over time than other distributions.

Can't get Nagios to work on Ubuntu 22.04
If If you feel more comfortable on a RHEL based distro, there a good alternatives to CentOS such as AlmaLinux or Rocky Linux.

Rust language forked by community into Crab
This situation still exists and Gregory Kurtzer's RockyLinux (Greg started CentOS originally), CloudLinux's AlmaLinux, and others exist to fill the need for a freely installable RHEL clone.

It's in a bit of an odd location but Alma Linux does provide images with different desktop environments
If you go to https://almalinux.org and click download, then click "Get Live Media Image", you'll be sent to a page with that link as well.

Rocky Linux 8.8 Available Now
Look at AlmaLinux also. I'm not sure of any technical reason why you'd chose one over the other, but AlmaLinux is a public non-profit with a board, Rocky ownership is a private org.

I moved everything to UbuntuLTS also, and I'm not moving again. But if I had waited, and I sort of wish I had, I'd probably be moving to Alma.

what host OS to use for Docker and does it even matter?
I was raised on Debian and I've been using it for all my Linux servers. On my ESXi I use VMware Photon OS as the host OS for my Docker. My primary client is using Alma Linux as the host OS for their Docker deployments.

Fermilab/CERN recommendation for Linux distribution
Rocky Linux has migration scripts available at https://github.com/rocky-linux/rocky-tools/tree/main/migrate...
An easy shortcut though, in case you have to hand type it out somewhere, is https://rockylinux.org/migrate2rocky.sh

What Distro did you use to replace Centos?

Best Solution - Self Hosted - Migrating from Hostgator
You can also convert an Oracle Cloud to Alma or Rocky then install ApisCP. If you do, append -s has_low_memory=1 to the installer.

Finding the proper webpanel
If going with Oracle Linux it's necessary to convert to Alma or Rocky before installing the 30-day trial. This also doubles as a great hack for a free 1 GB DNS-only server.

Stuck Trying to Migrate from CentOS Linux to Rocky Linux after EOL?
I run the migration script today and I encountered this pellicular error:

Why did Greg Kurtzer leave the CentOS project in the first place?
migrate2rocky.sh is a 1200 line bash script that appears to call dnf dozens of times. Granted, at the time he didn't know exactly what the migration path was going to look like, so call this one a broken promise rather than a false statement.
