Out of the mainstream distros what might end up getting bought by Google or even Microsoft, Ubuntu seems to me like the most likely candidate.
I mean, RedHat was once the even more likely candidate, but
-
RedHat is unapologetically the Enterprise Linux so they're very close to Windows Server in that way.
-
I find Redhat annoying with how they lock down access to KB articles unless you have a subscription and certain "proprietary " things they do but I managed over 500 RHEL 7 and 8 servers at my previous job and I will say that their support is excellent, and RHEL is rock solid. Satellite server on the other hand, that thing is a steaming pile of garbage...

You can create a free developer account. They don't really check you are a developer either.
-
Yeah Satellite was the worst thing about managing RHEL but it's still leagues better than similar products for Windows. We basically just used Sat for licensing and as a local repo so it wasn't too bad for that. We started using Ansible more just as I left my sysadmin career. Lots of rhel with rac and jboss.
