And if I'm going to be brutally honest with you, just use Rocky
Linux. All this effort to switch to deb distros seems pointless
given why you started in the first place. Word on the street is that
Rocky 9.0 is set to go EOL in 2032 ...
I know that Keith asked specifically for distributions with deb-based
packages, so this reply isn't for him per se but anyone interested in
Ben's recommendation for Rocky 9.0 (Linux, not a movie). Here are the
versions it offers of some packages that might be of general interest:
kernel: 4.18
glibc: 2.28
gcc: 8.5.0
Apache: 2.4.37
nginx: 1.14.1 (1.16, 1.18, and 1.20 available)
php: 7.2 (7.3, 7.4, and 8.0 available)
python: 3.6.8 (3.8 and 3.9 available)
perl: 5.26 (5.30 and 5.32 available)
mariadb: 10.3 (10.5 available)
postgresql: 10 (9.6, 12, and 13 available)
The packages with alternate versions available are visible via the
"dnf module" family of commands, e.g.,
dnf module list php
dnf module info php
