Many Linux distros are free and open-source.
This is great for using in many reasearch and development projects. Linux is very capable of working in highly available and secure environment

There are also Enterprise Linux distros

- A good argument was made here based on differences between CentOS and RHEL
  - However considering the end of life of CentOS it may be better to reform the same argument between Oracle Linux and RHEL
