I also very much dislike Ubuntu/Debian, and I very much liked CentOS. I was
sad when it was "killed". There are the "Bug-For-Bug" compatible clones
like AlmaLinux or RockyLinux ... I prefer to keep it original. Are you
aware that RedHat proper is free to use?
Go to redhat.com and create a free account, then go to developer.redhat.com
and you can get your free developer account.
I think it's like 20 free systems, which I find to be plenty.
I run my entire homelab stack on RHEL proper.
