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

My servers run good ol' debian. It's boring in the best way. A desktop environment is rather unusual for a server but you do you.
