Ubuntu
Ubuntu can be an alternative to Raspberry Pi OS, Armbian and Proxmox on most Compute Stations.
Ubuntu runs on a wide range of computers, from tiny Raspberry Pis to massive IBM Mainframes, enabling Compute Stations to deployed in all possible application.
Each ubuntu version can support multiple kernels.
Use of Live Patching kernels is preferred, although use of OEM kernels and Hardware Enablement kernels is also possible.
