Yeah not a chance. Developers are, generally, idiots when it comes to things outside of their apps. Like the OS. Ask most why they chose Ubuntu.
Sure, but if the developer says "supported on Debian, CentOS and Fedora" you have your choice of a solution to use and you wouldn't go and use Gentoo (unless you maybe hated yourself).
The point being, if you want support of any kind, you stick with what the developer has said that they use and support.

main·stream /ˈmānˌstrēm/ nounI know how it is defined. But how are you claiming which ones are mainstream. Because there is only subjective evidence to support any of your wild ass bullshit claim.
Mint is Mainstream to many. It is old and nasty and not something I would ever use.
Ubuntu is a steaming pile of shit that only has popularity among "developers" because it was "popular" as a desktop OS.

Okay ass.
You know what my intention is and was when using the term Mainstream.
So get off your horse and onto the dildo, cause you need to sit and spin for a while.

No, if it is a web app, then the developer will support their app because it has jack shit to do with the OS. Will they support some dumb ass that doens't even know what an OS is? No. But then, neither do I.

The general consensus is to start with the "mainstream" enterprise OS's. Fedora, RHEL/CentOS and lastly Ubuntu.
No, that is not valid. WTF is even “mainstream”?
I generally try to stick with whatever the developer uses. If they say we dev on X, I install using X, not Y.

Exactly. Devs typically have no idea about OS, security, etc... I work with a ton of Devs that more than prove this, all the time. There is never any practical or logical reasoning.

Completely unwarranted reply from you, because the use and intention of "mainstream" is useless no matter how you try to swing it... HOWEVER, I LMAO so hard at this.

Right nothing wrong with that either, as they are devs not IT.
But especially in the open source world, so much crap happens because the dev has no idea. Why? Because they are out there byb themselves only coding their app.
