For an alternative, when I was looking into server os's, from what I can tell RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) is the go to since it's stable. That said RHEL is not free, so what people use to do is get a free OS which is down stream to RHEL, that's your Alma and Rocky Linux.
However back in 2023 IBM made some changes, and now Alma and Rocky had to rebase off of CentOS Stream which is what RHEL is based off of.
For all intent and purpose I'd recommend using Debain, but Alma and Rocky are alternatives you may want to look into. Personally using Alma and outside of the learning curve of using a RHEL based OS, it has been quite stable.
