Hey, folks I’m moving my main PC to linux soon, and for that I have settled on Mint. However, I also plan to build a homelab pc for the first time to selfhost some services, mainly Jellyfinn, some game servers, and possibly next cloud, but I’m unsure which distro to go with for that.
I have some experience running debian headless (on an orange pi) and I can use ssh and the cli just fine, however, I also want the server pc to (maybe) serve as a moonlight client in my living room, so I was leaning towards something that is not headless, and I am unsure if I should also go with Mint for that or if something else might be more suitable.
Honestly when you kind of know Debian than stay with it. It’s greater software. You can easily install a graphical desktop if you like to do so. Also it’s quit comfortable to have the same package manager on all you systems.
Mine is running Debian and to my memory has never crashed or required me to restore a backup once in several years.
