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

    Debian. With unattended-upgrades installed. I ssh monthly just to update the docker images and clean up old logs.
