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.

    there is some overhead but it’s not like running a full VM when you are talking about containers and it is way safer if you want to expose anything to the internet due to isolation

    edit: i’m talking about containers in general, not proxmox exclusively. depending on your case proxmox will let you spin a whole VM if needed
