Benefits of CentOS vs Debian?

[tonyruffalo]

Hello, I am quite new to the linux world and would love to breath life into an old macbook of mine with linux. I have had little experience with CentOS and Debian other than in cloud based workloads run off of AWS. From my experience, Debian deems to be a far more supported OS with apt-get, and just general online support. Are there aspects of a CentOS based OS that I should be considering? And in general, coming from macOS, are there any distros you guys would personally recommend?

RHEL is the BEST enterprise linux EVER and if make REAL money, pay for it. I do.

CentOS is a clone of RHEL without payed support but you have hardware compatibility with enterprise server, storage... i use it internally.

the rest is personal preference.

Yes. Good catch. Both come from ip addresses located in India. I think I'll lock this thread and if the OP wants it reopened then they can contact one of the mods and ask.
