Back in 2017, I installed an intranet server for a south french regional
administration. Their intranet CMS was a heavily modded SPIP and depended on
PHP < 5.6. In-house development in these administrations is slow and takes
years. So I simply offered to use CentOS 7 with PHP 5.4 and support until 2024.
They're happy because that leaves them plenty of time.
As for desktops and workstations, I'm a big fan of OpenSUSE Leap, a hybrid
solution based on a semi-rolling model on top of a rock-solid SUSE Linux
Enterprise base system.
On servers, I only run RHEL clones (and sometimes the real thing).
