I use Fedora Kinoite daily and find it to be the only OS to make sense really.
I find Fedora CoreOS totally confusing (with that ignition file, no anaconda, no user password by default, like how would I set this up anywhere I dont have filesystem access to?)
But there are alternatives. I would like to build my own hardened Fedora server image that can be deployed anywhere (i.e. any PC to turn into a secure and easy out-of-the-box server).
As modern server often uses containers anyways, I think an atomic server only makes sense, as damn Debian is just a pain to use.
Experiences, recommendations?
What makes Debian a pain to use on servers?
Automatic updates are overcomplex and not even preinstalled. Install a package, change some configs, so some more.
I dealt with it and its annoying.
And there is a lot more that is completely manual with no good default presets
