You should run production workloads on supported platforms like [Red Hat Enterprise Linux](https://www.redhat.com/technologies/linux-platforms/enterprise-linux/sql-server), [SUSE Linux Enterprise Server](https://www.suse.com/c/microsoft-sql-server-on-suse-linux-enterprise-server-new-suse-best-practices), and [Ubuntu Pro](https://ubuntu.com/blog/microsoft-sql-server-on-ubuntu), as they receive regular OS security updates, and have support coverage options that you need for enterprise database deployments.
