Ralph's explanation of Linux OS distribution is really good!
And I will add a few more. - OS Cost
- OS maintenance cost (Even if Linux is known as Free, we need to maintain it seriously)
- Kernel driver usage (If there are a lot of Embedded systems or customized hardware, one should consider Kernel LTS. In my experience, Debian (not variant) is good, and Redhat and its variant are terrible.)
At the ALS-U, our OS at this moment is Rocky 9.2 LTS. That is not my preference, but our Unix group decided it. :)
Best, Han
Hi Vincent,
Take your expected lifecycle times into consideration. What will be more important: newest tools and compiler versions or stability/robustness? For controls, people often prefer the "slower" series (Debian/Ubuntu-LTS, RHEL/Alma) over the "faster" ones (Ubuntu, Fedora). Drama aside: in terms of EPICS support, there's not much difference between the RedHat and Debian families of distros.
Cheers, ~Ralph
