Can you give me suggestions?
thanks

Can you give me suggestions?

The best operating system is the one you know best.

my problem with ubuntu is: I have tried to perform the upgrade from 16 to 18 and it was a disaster, a lot of errors that I'm considering starting elsewhere to avoid such disastrous upgrade.
I haven't used yum before, but if it is more stable and the future upgrade is seamless, I would consider it right now

Upgrades to new Version of Ubuntu or of any System (Windows too...) can always go wrong, thats why Is better to always do a Backup before doing that.
A good advise was already given by @IgorG .
Im currently use Ubuntu for Plesk Installations.
Ubuntu is very good for beginners and has high flexibility. CentOS is good for long operations but require knowledge (for my point).
