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

I’m running proxmox and then in the containers either debian or alpine. Because one is reliable and the other is small. Then I’m running one on ubuntu because it’s having a amd graphics card and rocm is only optimized for ubuntu for this specific one.
Just started with proxmox 5 months ago, best decision I ever made.
My next big thing is running GPU passthrough for Plex, but I haven’t gotten to it. So Plex languishes on an old mini PC until I get my act together.
Proxmox GPU passthrough is not something I’m looking forward to.
Edit: I did it, wasn’t so bad actually. Especially since I found a guide specifically for my ARC card
