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

Just run debian with a DE. I have a beefy server that I got out of sheer luck and I run it with a DE. Everything else is just SSH but I wanted a DE to fuck around with openjdk on the minecraft server cause Java is a bitch. Like someone tell.me why it updated from openjdk8 to 21 when I installed 8 manually.
