Not so demanding as some, but Suse Linux always seemed very
professional. Same league as  Red Hat fwics.  A Debian
fan years ago, but the most recent edition tried here is
Devuan, a Debian fork that takes out systemd.  I dropped
Linux for good after the systemd trainwreck.

Main s/w dev machine here is FreeBSD 12, but also Solaris for the
lab server...
