Yup Debian would also be my way of getting started.
Comment on how to start with self-hosting?

Without knowing what you actually want to do, I’d put Debian on it. Very good, very stable, very widespread OS with plenty of tutorials around for whatever you decide to do with it. Do a minimal installation and 4 GB RAM are plenty to play around with.

I second Debian because of the amount of information out there.

I use debian for my ancient media server. It’s great.

i use dietpi, which is built upon a minimal debian.

Even better when you’re already familiar with it. And I’d consider a media server to already be “selfhosting”.
