I’m putting together a bunch of my old PC parts to get a home server going, and i was wondering what the best OS would be. I have Mint installed on it currently, but I’m not sure thats the best option so I’m looking for alternatives.
I’m definitely a Linux novice, so I dont want anything super complicated. I was thinking of using Debian since it seems decent, but I really know nothing about the different distros and would appreciate a good starting point if anything
@FilthyShrooms From my point of view most Linux- or *BSD-OS will be a good choice.
I’m running rootless podman on Manjaro Linux, but for many people an Arch Linux based system can be problematic related to possible stability issues from rolling updates.
A Debian based distribution could be a better choice for many people, especially when the provided services are running as container or in another virtualized environment.
