I’m looking to turn an old laptop into a home server. What distros make sense to use for that? Use a server dedicated distro like Ubuntu Server or is a regular desktop environment like Mint fine too?
Edit: TL;DR use Debian

Maybe I misread his experience.
When I started with Linux, I started with Ubuntu in 2005.
But when I started self hosting, which was just last year, I went straight to MicroOS and podman and never regretted it.
Well, that’s my recommendation at least. In the end, either will work.
