>From an admin and developer perspective I find Fedora Server a real gem. Speaking from experience, I would much rather work on Fedora than CentOS or Red Hat. Fedora Server comes with the latest stable tools and does not need things like Software Collections (SCL) to get a modern Apache, Python or PHP. Every year or so Fedora Server needs a DNF System Upgrade (https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/dnf-system-upgrade/), which is like a Ubuntu dist-upgrade. I've not had one go bad since I started using it back around F12 or F15. If Wireguard needs to make a Red Hat-family recommendation, I think it would be wise to consider Fedora Server. Jeff
