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

    Arch.

    Minimal, rock solid, good documentation.

    If you feel the need for containers, that could be installed too.

    Whatever you use… understand it and do backups. Something will break.
