Trying to make my first server, stuck on OS choices

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yes that's correct. But I see 18 months maintaine windows for a complete distro upgrade is fairly often. Ubuntu Interim is in my opinion not really suited for server applications due to the small support windows.
Rocky Linux9 security EOL is in 8 years for the other end. In that context fedora is a lot more "short lived".
