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

Just started with proxmox 5 months ago, best decision I ever made.

My next big thing is running GPU passthrough for Plex, but I haven't gotten to it. So Plex languishes on an old mini PC until I get my act together.

Proxmox GPU passthrough is not something I'm looking forward to.

Edit: I did it, wasn't so bad actually. Especially since I found a guide specifically for my ARC card
