It would be best to pick something from a list of supported platforms: https://bind9.readthedocs.io/en/v9.20.11/chapter2.html#supported-platforms

And then cross-check it with list of ISC provided packages (Fedora, RHEL-like, Debian, Ubuntu) if you want a base system that changes less often.

Or just any distro with Podman/Docker.

FreeBSD packages are also well maintained in ports.

I guess rolling distros like Arch Linux should also work well.

But definitely not something that reached end-of-life last year (CentOS Linux 7 reached end of life (EOL) on June 30, 2024).
