The Jenkins project distributes Eclipse Temurin in our container images. We’ve had very good results with it. It is open source.
Jenkins runs on many Linux distributions that use OpenJDK. Those distributions include Debian, Red Hat, Oracle, openSUSE, and Ubuntu. We’ve had very good results with OpenJDK as well.
