Which Version of JDK Should I Use?

Interested in what folks use. I stick to temurin unless guaranteed to deploy in AWS then I use corretto.

I use temurin, but you're really okay with anything but oracle's jdk. You want to do what you can to avoid an Oracle audit.

Seconded. Really, anything but the oracle JDK.

Sometimes the audit is unavoidable. Recently went through one, and my first thought was "wait, people still use oracle jdk?". Thankfully not my job to deal with, but I guess some companies never migrated off which blows my mind, but, to each their own I guess. Oracle is coming around looking for a paydays.

I still cant believe that oracle did it that bad, that people switched off the JDK just entirely

The jdk itself is fine, but the licensing terms are ridiculous. To their credit they waited to implement the terrible terms until there were multiple drop-in replacements.
