I’m sure they had good reasons to make the switch, but I don’t really understand the argument about kernel and ruby versions. An upgrade to the newest LTS release would have gotten them ruby 3.2 and probably a newer kernel as well.
To resolve these, OpenStreetMap needed to switch to newer mainline kernels, naturally leading them toward Debian.

stable is not the only debian release. Additionally, while ubuntu may be great for beginners or corporate offices, it really does suck compared to other distros. They’ve added so much garbage and guardrails the performance is dog shit (in comparison to other distros like debian).
It’s a massive upgrade.
