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

    An OS you know your way around. There is no right answer. It’s one that you understand. Things will break, it should be the one you have no problems fixing when the time comes.

    I have strong preferences for why I use slackware and would not use anything else for myself, but would I recommend it to anyone, no.
