$ sudo update-java-alternatives --set java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64

OpenJDK is available for both Linux and Windows.

There are also commercial JDK versions available, which may work but are not regularly regression tested by PrimeKey.

The Oracle JDK (starting April 16, 2019) is one example of a commercial JDK. For more information, see Oracle Java SE Support Roadmap and Java SE Development Kit 8 Downloads.
