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

    I use Mint. I tried Ubuntu several times and ran into dependency issues. Mint has extra stuff you won’t need, but it “just works”. And no Snap.
