    I run Ubuntu on my home servers, simply because I always used it, resources and help are plentiful and it’s well documented. I thought.

    Took me a while to realize that after moving to a new machine and upgrading to 22.04 docker was installed as a fucking snap and a bunch of my apps didn’t work because of that. I got it all running now, but every VM and LXC I’ll install going forward will be running Debian instead. Fuck this annoying shit.

    Edit: Or I might try out Mint Mate, since it’s what I know best (aka Ubuntu) without snaps. What would you guys recommend for a basic homelab?

      You could go for the best of both worlds and use Mint LMDE (Debian Edition). But if only using it as a server, plain Debian should be all you need.

        Ooooooo, I didn’t know about that project! I’ll definitely spin up a VM and check LMDE out. Thanks!
