Ubuntu all the way. It has the most amount of docs, stack overflow questions and general awareness.

I like that the focus is "if it's simple and it works, just leave it alone" :D

I’ve been using OpenTelemetry to catch both logs, metrics and traces. Then, pretty much any observability backend supports otel these days, so it becomes a matter of preference. I personally like either DataDog or Loki/Prometheus/Tempo/Grafana stacks.
